Hi.First, let's be clear. I currently do not want to have an active activity as
a Debian maintainer. I recently created a free/libre C project, and I would
like to create clean Debian packages for it, and integrate them in Debian main.
I have no problem to be the maintainer of them, but currently I do not want to
be the maintainer of project(s) made by third parties. I never created a
package for a distribution.My project is composed of 2 parts: a core part (the
logic of the application) and a SDL part (a graphic view for
it).https://gitlab.com/RyDroid/PlanetWars2dRT-corehttps://gitlab.com/RyDroid/PlanetWars2dRT-SDL2This
are both C projects buildable with CMake, so they have a lot in common for the
build part. So I first would like to do packages for the core part (because the
SDL part needs core), as I suppose that the SDL part will be very similar.I
would like to create 3 packages for the core part: lib (for the shared library
object), dev (for headers), and doc (for documentation generated by doxygen).I
would like to do a fully automatic process.I first created a package with CPack
invoked by CMake, as it seems simple and because CMake is the build system used
by my project. It works, but the package has not a good quality (lintian
reports errors and warning), moreover it seems that CPack is too limited to fix
them.So I read maint-guide-fr to create a package without CMake. I created the
basic files need (see package folder in the source tree). But then I am
confused with the many different tools available and how I can make at least
one of them used what is already done (CMake builds the shared library, and
"configures" the file for pkg-config and manual files for Debian packages) and
make generates the documentation (with the doc rules).That is why I am posting
to this list: I want help to finish the job (hints, similar example, etc).I am
running on Debian GNU/Linux 8 and Trisquel 7 (based on Ubuntu 14.04).Regards.
