Hi, >Added the "metadata" in d/upstream
wonderful! >Sorry, I do not have programming skills in C and makefile. actually the "issue" is: -why did you create a c code that only starts a program? you can start it directly, with a bash script, as it was done before. I'm not sure having a program that just starts another program (or a script) is a good solution. Can you please write *where* I asked you that? lets quote myself > I don't understand why desktop, install manpages are part of Debian > and not upstream packaging > a simple Makefile for upstream can simplify a lot the Debian > packaging, and make easier life > for other linux distros. a makefile can install stuff, it is not requested that should build also something. Just create a makefile that on make install installs manpages and desktop on $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/whatever and rely on that in your rules file. If you can't, not a problem, just throw away the c file and restore the installation in debian packaging. thanks! G.
