-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hi,
i was wondering, what is the best way to *exclude* files from a package that get installed by upstream's "make install" target? at the same time i don't want to miss the comforts of packaging systems like cdbs. e.g. upstream uses autotools as build system and installs "LICENSE.txt" (GPL2) into some non-standard location (pkglibdir). i would use a symlink to common-licenses. - - modifying the build system (exclude LICENSE.txt from the Makefile.am) seems a bit of an overkill. - - using debian/mypackage.install to move files from a temporary installdestination (debian/tmp/) to the the real one (debian/mypackage) this usually works well, but not so good if a given source package generates only a single binary package. this might be a problem with CDBS - - removing the files right after the "install" target. - - ??? the 2nd attempt seems to be most the most promising, but i seem to be unable to make it work. maybe i'm missing something, like debian/mypackage.noinstall... fgmasdr IOhannes -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk6UM0YACgkQkX2Xpv6ydvR0twCgk315bvFd2eGdpFxNwj9vUnFS bnUAoNfTBG/c1+JJ+41QArDwRTWwKOaT =/NMK -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
