Well, what about these native packages? Do, I understand correctly that for native packages the installation directories are 'fictive' (to a tmp dir) and so native Debian package cannot be at the same time a normal Unix package (installable by "make all && make install") without patching (patching which would port *from* Debian *to* "normal Unix")? In my understanding, creating a package, even if it's main using is under Debian, I should first create a "normal Unix" package and only then port it to Debian, shouldn't I? But what about any clues about creating native Debian packages? P.S. How much messages per day send debian-devel list? My mail system isn't yet well configured to handle many, as I installed Debian at home only about two weeks ago. -- Victor Porton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
