G'Evening...
I've several question and problems with a package I'm trying to build.
Well, here we go.
1. In the rules file some directories /var/run/diablo/, /var/spool/news/
are 775 and not 755. How evil is that? Honestly I don't know whether
755 breaks anything. And it already was like this in the last two
Diablo releases.
2. lintian also complains about this:
W: diablo: missing-depends-line
Hmh. Not good. debian/control says this: "Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}"
What am I missing here?
3. Additional lintian warnings:
E: diablo: statically-linked-binary usr/sbin/diablo
E: diablo: statically-linked-binary usr/lib/news/dbin/dnewslink
When debian/rules is called I get this:
[..]
dpkg-shlibdeps dbin/diablo
dpkg-gencontrol
no utmp entry available, using value of LOGNAME ("root") at
/usr/lib/dpkg/controllib.pl line 16.
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unknown substitution variable ${shlibs:Depends}
[..]
What am I doing wrong here?
4. What is the preferred uid to build such packages under? for the binary
target at least you need uid 0. Now with libtricks and devscripts there's
a "build" which works and even finds my pgp key when doing build with my
usual login.
What problems will arise if I do "chown -R efraim *" on the source tree?
Any proven way that simply works?
Enough for today... I'm too much afraid of what I misread or misunderstood..
TIA,
Alexander
