Hi, I am working on packaging wxftp. From the source, I want to create wxftp-gtk, wxftp-doc (and later wxftp-dmotif and wxftp-smotif).
I started with gtk and doc to check out how to do this. The controlfile looks like this: Source: wxftp Section: non-free/net Priority: optional Maintainer: Martin Bialasinski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Standards-Version: 2.4.1 Package: wxftp-gtk Architecture: any Depends: ${shlibs:Depends} Suggests: wxftp-doc Description: A graphical ftp programm with GTK interface [snip] Package: wxftp-doc Architecture: any Suggests: netscape3 | netscape4 | lynx | www-browser Description: Documentation for for wxftp, used for the help menu [snip] After some steps in the rules file, I have the debian/tmp and debian/wxftp-doc dirs holding all needed files. Now I want to build the packages. I tried debstd -m README README.source TODO, but this will copy the files to debian/tmp/usr/doc/wxftp and not to wxftp-gtk. I also don't get the copyright, README.debian and changelog.Debian.gz in the wxftp-doc directory (I assume these files belong in all packages created from the source). The output generated is: - Installing Documentation ** Package wxftp-doc -- Checking for executable binaries in package No executables or libraries in the package! -- Checking Symlinks no utmp entry available, using value of LOGNAME ("root") at /usr/lib/dpkg/controllib.pl line 16. no utmp entry available, using value of LOGNAME ("root") at /usr/lib/dpkg/controllib.pl line 16. no utmp entry available, using value of LOGNAME ("root") at /usr/lib/dpkg/controllib.pl line 16. dpkg-deb: building package `wxftp-doc' in `../wxftp-doc_0.3.1-1_i386.deb'. ** Main Package wxftp-gtk -- Checking for executable binaries in package usr/X11R6/bin/wxftp-gtk ELF Binary DEBIAN/postinst Script DEBIAN/postrm Script -- Figuring out dependencies of ELF objects no utmp entry available, using value of LOGNAME ("root") at /usr/lib/dpkg/controllib.pl line 16. -- Compressing/Converting Manpages -- Compressing Documentation -- Checking Symlinks --------------- debstd processing finished -------------- dpkg-gencontrol -pwxftp-gtk no utmp entry available, using value of LOGNAME ("root") at /usr/lib/dpkg/controllib.pl line 16. no utmp entry available, using value of LOGNAME ("root") at /usr/lib/dpkg/controllib.pl line 16. no utmp entry available, using value of LOGNAME ("root") at /usr/lib/dpkg/controllib.pl line 16. chown -R root.root debian/tmp chmod -R go=rX debian/tmp dpkg --build debian/tmp .. dpkg-deb: building package `wxftp-gtk' in `../wxftp-gtk_0.3.1-1_i386.deb'. dpkg-gencontrol -pwxftp-doc no utmp entry available, using value of LOGNAME ("root") at /usr/lib/dpkg/controllib.pl line 16. no utmp entry available, using value of LOGNAME ("root") at /usr/lib/dpkg/controllib.pl line 16. no utmp entry available, using value of LOGNAME ("root") at /usr/lib/dpkg/controllib.pl line 16. chown -R root.root debian/wxftp-doc chmod -R go=rX debian/wxftp-doc dpkg --build debian/wxftp-doc .. dpkg-deb: building package `wxftp-doc' in `../wxftp-doc_0.3.1-1_i386.deb'. So, how do I call debstd the right way? The manpage says, debstd will do the right things automatically. Ciao, Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
