I see. Well, I did create debian/ myself at first and then use dh_make to consult with some missing files I might have.
I should note that what I'm packaging is a web application software and so it has no need for compilation of any sort but rather just copy the files tree and run the scripts. Anyway, so I ran dh_make -e <email> -s -n and was provided with the debian/ example directory from which I copied the rules file and commented 2 parts: # Add here commands to compile the package # $(MAKE) and # Add here commands to install the package into debian/daloradius. # $(MAKE) DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/daloradius install As there is no need for any compilation to be done like I've stated before. Then I ran dpkg-buildpackage -b again, the output is somewhat long but results in: dpkg-deb: building package `daloradius' in `../daloradius_0.9.3_i386.deb'. dpkg-genchanges -b dpkg-genchanges: binary-only upload - not including any source code signfile daloradius_0.9.3_i386.changes gpg: skipped "liran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>": secret key not available gpg: [stdin]: clearsign failed: secret key not available dpkg-buildpackage: binary only upload (no source included) (WARNING: Failed to sign .changes file) I'm indeed missing the signature file but I will add this later. Other than that, is this package ready? Regards, Liran.
