lintian errors in my waimea package
Hello I have actively been trying to package the waimea window manager to be sponsored. There was an error in the 0.3.3 upstream code that has been fixed in the cvs branch. I have made a new package against the cvs branch and put it at http://jay.skabber.com/debian/. However I get these two lintian erros. W: waimea: prerm-does-not-remove-usr-doc-link W: waimea: postinst-does-not-set-usr-doc-link with lintian -i I get a bit more info W: waimea: prerm-does-not-remove-usr-doc-link N: N: The technical committee chose the symlink transition method to move N: from FSSTND to FHS. This transition involves setting the link in the N: postinst script and removing it in the prerm script.

dpkg-buildpackage problem
Hello I am trying to package a program that installs some data files in to /etc/X11/packageName However when I run the dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot the process fails when it actually tries to install the files to /etc/X11/packageName Shouldn't install the files to debian/packageName/etc/X11/packageName ?

Re: dpkg-buildpackage problem
I after some thinking and tweaking I finally came up with this
./configure --host=$(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE) --build=$(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE)
--prefix=/ --mandir=\$${prefix}usr/share/man --i
nfodir=\$${prefix}usr/share/info --datadir=\$${prefix}etc/X11
--exec-prefix=\$${prefix}/usr
My problem was that I needed to install the binary to /usr/bin and the
data to /etc/X11. I couldn't do this with prefix set to /usr. So I set
the prefix to / and set the --datadir and --exec-prefix to what I
needed.
Everything worked great after that.
Thanks for all your help. I now have a much better understanding of how
this all works, that I wouldn't have if everything just worked out of
the box.
