That's because your current mentor has a memory like a sieve. :-)
I took a look at the package.
First problem is you need a build dependency on libpcap-dev and rrdtool
Second, the scripts do get made executable by your auto* stuff so that's
working ok. It's dh_fixperms which is unsetting them again. After the
call to dh_fixperms, add something like the following code ($ signs have
to be doubled because debian/rules is a Makefile.) :
for i in $(CURDIR)/debian/iptotal/var/www/iptotal/*.cgi; do chmod +x $$i; done
which brings me to the third problem. Your scripts are actually getting
installed into /var/www/iptotal/iptotal/www. iptotal.cfg is getting
installed into /. I'm guessing that's not actually what you want. To get
the proper behavior you're going to have to restructure your Makefile.am
The top level Makefile.am will look like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@
sbin_PROGRAMS = iptotal
sbin_SCRIPTS = src/iptotald src/makegraph
iptotal_SOURCES = iptotal.c
iptotal_LDADD = -lpcap
EXTRA_DIST = src/iptotald.in src/makegraph.in www/*.in www/images/* \
www/archive/* iptotal.1 iptotald.8 iptotal_config.5 \
etc/iptotal.cfg etc/iptotal.cfg.in
SUBDIRS = etc www
Note the SUBDIRS statement. This says to call 2nd level Makefile.am's
in etc like this:
sysconf_DATA = iptotal.cfg
and in www like this:
nobase_pkgdata_DATA = archive.cgi iptotal.cgi iptotal_w.cgi iptotal_m.cgi \
iptotal_y.cgi images/* archive/*
Don't forget to run automake, aclocal, and autoconf afterwards.
Then in the call to configure in debian/rules, change
--datadir to /var/www and --sysconfdir to /etc
This together with the permissions fix should get rid of most of the
issues. Lintian complains about a few minor things though.
* makegraph needs a manpage
* there are typos in the path to the GPL in debian/copyright
* the short description ends with a . It should be a phrase not a
sentence. You can ask for advice on the debian-i10n-en mailing list.
The other warnings can be ignored or overriden.
