Hi, I've build a debian package and dpkg-buildpackage works fine. The program's "debian" directory can be found here: http://sv.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/gpostman/gpostman/debian/
Anyway, Lintian shows up several problems. (1) E: gpostman: FSSTND-dir-in-usr usr/doc/ I know that the documentation shouldn't be in /usr/doc but in /usr/share/doc instead. I don't want to change the configure.in and automake scripts, so I was wondering if there is a debhelper to move all the documentation into it's proper locations. Or is there a better way to do this? Will I have to create a postinst script? (2) W: gpostman: extra-license-file usr/doc/gpostman/COPYING.gz I have no idea. I have only one file in my package directory, which must remain there for source (tarball) distributions. Is there a way to tell dpkg to just skip this file or something? (3) E: gpostman: changelog-file-not-compressed ChangeLog The problem is, if I "gzip -9" the change-log, dpkg-buildpackage will quit with an error, so I just don't know how to do it. Cheers! -Samuel
