Hello, What you put in your "upstream" Makefiles is not really relevant to the packaging: debian's "rules" file (which is a Makefile) has no "install" target. Well thought upstream Makefiles help for maintaining a package, though. If you write Makefiles for this install task, make sure they accept the DESTDIR variable, so that "make install DESTDIR=debian/package" does its job. The install task can also be done entirely within "packager-land", i.e. debian/rules. There's no problem with packaging code that's not compiled. You will have a binary-arch target which is empty and a binary-indep which is not. The Architecture: field in the control file should be set to "all". I would believe -mentors is a better place to boot you up with packaging. Regards, Thibaut. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
