Yes, first time I've run $ dh_make ../libcrypt-simple-perl-0.06.tar.gz but it generates only ../libcrypt-simple-perl-0.06.orig dir > > 2. uncompressed it and rename dir to libcrypt-simple-perl-0.06 > > 3. cd libcrypt-simple-perl-0.06 > > 4. dh-make-perl > > I've used it since it creates a debian/rules for perl modules > > 5. debuild > > > > lintian returns this: > > W: libcrypt-simple-perl source: native-package-with-dash-version > debuild calls dpkg-buildpackage, which couldn't find the .orig.tar.gz, > because it wasn't called that, so it made it into a "native package", > with no .diff.gz, and a nonpristine "orig" tarball. I think something has changed in the deb generations scripts: what I've understood is that dh_make at first execution generates the .orig dir, and only dkpg-buildpackage tar & gzip it into .orig.tar.gz What I've done this time is: 1. copy original tar.gz to libcrypt-simple-perl-0.06.tar.gz 2. expand it and rename the coming-out dir to libcrypt-simple-perl-0.06 3. $ cd libcrypt-simple-perl-0.06 ; dh_make ../libcrypt-simple-perl-0.06.tar.gz which generates ../libcrypt-simple-perl-0.06.orig dir (I think from the archive passed as param) 4. copy the debian dir generates from dh-make-perl (or run dh-make-perl to create debian/rules for a perl module) and modify the files accordingly. 5. $ debuild and this time all right files are created, deletin .orig dir and generation package.orig.tar.gz file. These files are available at http:/matrixhasu.altervista.org/debian/libcrypt-simple-perl_0.06-1_all.deb http:/matrixhasu.altervista.org/debian/libcrypt-simple-perl_0.06-1.diff.gz http:/matrixhasu.altervista.org/debian/libcrypt-simple-perl_0.06-1.dsc http:/matrixhasu.altervista.org/debian/libcrypt-simple-perl_0.06-1_i386.build http:/matrixhasu.altervista.org/debian/libcrypt-simple-perl_0.06-1_i386.changes http:/matrixhasu.altervista.org/debian/libcrypt-simple-perl_0.06.orig.tar.gz of via apt, with this sources: deb http://matrixhasu.altervista.org/debian/ ./ deb-src http://matrixhasu.altervista.org/debian/ ./ > That directory is used to create the .orig.tar.gz, though I don't > understand why dh_make doesn't make the .orig.tar.gz initially, but > instead creates that directory and lets dpkg-buildpackage do it. > Anyone know why? Interesting even to me, since in the doc from debian site it's written dh_make generates .orig.tar.gz, and since I think that doc is for newbie-willing-to-learn this generates a great confusion (as in my case). Hope this time I've done all correct, but obviously any correction/suggest is welcome!
