Hello mentors, I am just packaging my Pidgin Last.fm Plugin for Debian and am wondering how to get a .changes file. The problem is that the plugin consists of a single perl script which is copied to /usr/lib/pidgin. What I already did is:
- Create a fodler structure with the file system tree I want to merge - Added a DEBIAN folder - Created a control file - Added changelog, copyright notice and such to the usr/share/doc part of the tree - Ran dpkg -b in order to get a .deb package out of that - Checked that everything is lintian-clean But all I am left with is a .deb file - so nothing I could upload to mentors.debian.net or such. All guides I could find explain how to either build a source package or how to use dh_make - which needs a Makefile that compiles the sources. As I already mentioned, I don't have either of that. So what is the correct way to build the package?
