I am really not quite sure what to do here and I would really
appreciate
some guidance.
Thanks
Hi.
As lintian said, you have to write a simple prerm and postinst script
(or add to your previous one) in the debian/ dir, that set the symlink
to your extra documentation page (and remove it if you remove the
package).
For example postinst could be:
-----------
#! /bin/sh
case "$1" in
configure)
if [ "$1" = "configure" ]; then
if [ -d /usr/doc -a ! -e /usr/doc/waimea -a -d /usr/share/doc/waimea
]; then
ln -sf ../share/doc/waimea /usr/doc/waimea
fi
fi
;;
abort-upgrade|abort-remove|abort-deconfigure)
;;
*)
echo "postinst called with unknown argument \`$1'" >&2
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
-------------
and prerm
-------------
#! /bin/sh
case "$1" in
upgrade|remove)
if [ \( "$1" = "upgrade" -o "$1" = "remove" \) -a -L
/usr/doc/waimea ]; then \
rm -f /usr/doc/waimea
fi
;;
abort-upgrade)
;;
*)
echo "preinst called with unknown argument \`$1'" >&2
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
----------
This have to be done in order to respect the Filesystem Hiearchy. Look
at chapter 13.3 of Debian Policy :-)
Bye bye
