Hello, As an exercise, I am trying to make my first Debian package using a Windowmaker dockapp called WMxmms. I think I almost succeeded to produce something that works, but I have three little questions.
1) I have a (boring) naming problem. The program is called WMxmms version 0.1.4, but I read that the convention is to lowercase the names of packages, so I chose to call it wmxmms-0.1.4. The problem is that the executable is called WMxmms, and there already is a program called wmxmms, which is part of the xmms package. The better way I found was to call the package wmxmms, and to let WMxmms as program name and menu entry, but there is a possible confusion with the "other" wmxmms program... 2) The package seems correct, lintian doesn't give any message anymore. But dpkg-buildpackage didn't generate an "orig.tar.gz" and a "diff.tar.gz" files, but only a "tar.gz". Is it because I didn't change anything in the source code ? 3) I know it is a very simple and straightforward job, but I wonder if it could be interesting that I send my package to somebody in order to diffuse it ? I put the files at the following address : http://www.nozav.org/debian/ Thanks in advance for any answer, and sorry for my very newbie questions and my poor english.
