First of all use -i or -I when using lintian. It's more verbose and that will help you a lot. # W: backup-nas: executable-not-elf-or-script ./etc/backup-nas/backup-nas.conf // Why ? i already add this path in my conffiles This is a rights problem IMHO. Don't have a configuration file with executable rights. # W: backup-nas: syntax-error-in-debian-changelog line 7 "badly formatted heading line" Use "debchange" from the package devscripts (set the env $EDITOR to what you like) so you are sure not to do syntaxe mistake. In your case "debchange --create" will do, then you can use "debchange -i" (and eventually later change the version number manually to match your needs). Doing it by hand is prone to errors (I never do it any more). # W: backup-nas: syntax-error-in-debian-changelog line 7 "found eof where expected more change data or trailer" Same. # # cat backup-nas-0.1/DEBIAN/conffiles # /etc/backup-nas/backup-nas.conf Don't add files in /etc to conffiles, it's done automatically as all files in /etc MUST be configuration files. And if I'm not mistaking, no executable is allowed there anyway, only config files (and eventually symlinks to solve some upstream problems with FSH). ~# zcat backup-nas-0.1/usr/share/doc/backup-nas/changelog.gz backup-nas (0.1) debian; urgency=low * first version waiting for problem -- Jean-Christian BEDIER <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mon, 24 Dec 2007 22:38:49 -0700 First, you should make a debian release (so you should consider using 0.1-1 in your change log a debian release version in stead of just 0.1). You will need to create a backup-nas_0.1.orig.tar.gz next to unpacked folder, and this tar.gz should NOT include what's in the debian folder. Package without a debian release are kept for Debian specific purposes. If there is a change made by somebody in Debian (and not by you) they will increment it, so you can track changes. If you are the upstream, always set this number to -1 and only increase version 0.1. That's what I do. Second, don't write "first version waiting for problem" just right "Initial release". You will write things here only concerning the Debian packaging itself, and HOW you did to solve the bugs/problems in your Debian packaging. Things from upstream (your software) should go in the upstream changelog (that should be included in the Debian package when you call dh_changelog in debian/rules). Don't forget to write "* New upstream release" each time you increment the 0.1 part of your version number. I hope that helps you and save your time to search in documentations.
