I am starting off on packaging some .debs for programs I have installed in my /usr/local . I am hitting a stopper due to conflicting documentation on debmake, debhelper, etc, and confusion on which is better. Mr Will Lowe's documentation at Developer's Corner at debian seems out-of-date. The package I am currently looking at is cheops, single binary, with files in lib and share. Once started, I can package for the two architectures I have, i386 and sparc. Also, a pointer to PGP (insofar as required to sign packages) would be appreciated.
I would appreciate pointers to get me started.
