I did the move and all problems I had with debstd vanished. All dh_*
utilities have manpages. When you don't add cronjobs, then simply don't
use dh_installcron (although it won't do any harm when it doesn't find the
files to install). The examples in the debhelper packages also helped me a
lot.
Here is a part of my rules file before and after the move:
(it is simplyfied, as this is a multibinary package. But hey, I just have
to add -a after all dh_* calls and it wil build all packages instead of
only the main one :-)
binary-arch: checkroot build
$(checkdir)
-rm -rf debian/tmp
install -d debian/tmp
cd debian/tmp && install -d `cat ../dirs`
make install DESTDIR=`pwd`/debian/tmp
install -m 644 CHANGES debian/tmp/usr/doc/$(package)/changelog
debstd README README.source TODO
dpkg-gencontrol
chown -R root.root debian/tmp
chmod -R go=rX debian/tmp
dpkg --build debian/tmp ..
*************
binary-arch: build
dh_testdir
dh_testroot
dh_clean
dh_installdirs
make install DESTDIR=`pwd`/debian/tmp
dh_installdocs
dh_installmenu
dh_installchangelogs CHANGES
dh_strip
dh_compress
dh_fixperms
dh_installdeb
dh_shlibdeps
dh_gencontrol
dh_md5sums
dh_builddeb
Note that you can use dh_testdir [$(checkdir)] and dh_testroot [checkroot]
in the whole rules file.
dh_fixperms is the chown, chmod part
I moved form the debstd invovation README README.source TODO into the docs
file and call dh_installdocs instead
Really nice is dh_installchangelogs instead of the install -m644 ... call
dpkg-gencontrol is now dh_gencontrol
Hope this helps,
Martin (see you on #debian; I am surf)
