Here is a good HOWTO specifically on packaging libraries: http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/column/libpkg-guide/libpkg-guide.html > > Any references are welcome. Here are two HOWTOs I wrote: Debian package customization http://familiasanchez.net/~roberto/?page=debcustomize Building a Debian package repository http://familiasanchez.net/~roberto/?page=debrepository Building policy compliant packages is not a requirement unless you intend to put them into Debian.
