Hi all,
I have recently packaged webCDwriter [
http://wwwhomes.uni-bielefeld.de/jhaeger/webCDwriter/ ] ( Closes: #98594 ),
but I have some questions to solve before i can ask my sponsor to upload it
for me to the archive. He suggested me to ask here.
[ I will leave some policy-related questions for a later mail ]
* Even though the upstream sources contain no debian subdirectory,
dpkg-buildpackage says it is creating a Debian-native package,
and thus creates no .diif.gz containing my debian subdirectory.
I have put packagename-version.orig.tar.gz in the parent directory, per the
manual pages/howto/.. [can't remember now]
What else should I do ?
*Since the program needs some SUID executables I do two things:
- tell the user to run 'dpkg-reconfigure cdrecord' to enable recording for
unprivileged users; warn about security implications
- chown root.cdrom; chmod 4750 /usr/bin/{setScheduler,CDWverify} in the
postinst, so that lintian does not give a warning.
*I have been testing the package for about a month now, and it seems to
work perfectly: install, upgrade, remove, purge behave as expected.
The binary package can be downloaded from:
http://devel.adv-solutions.net/debian stable main
( compiled for Woody, runs in Sid )
TIA
Regards,
J.L.
