cvs-buildpackage
Hi all. I don't understand exactly what cvs-buildpackage is supposed to do. After having read Howto and try it, that's remain very obscure to me. It want find a /usr/local/src/Packages/ (why ?) and finally (when I create this dir) do nothing. The man don't help me :( I want to use it on my own debian packages which sources are stored in cvs. If someone have an example for me ... thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

make my own debian package
Hi all, I am learning how to make packages debian for my personal use to install my own scripts, files of conf and others. I test all that currently while making a package which allows me to replace the files of conf Shell, I try to make un package which allows me to replace the files of conf /etc/bash.bashrc, /etc/profile and /etc/skel/.bash* by my own files. As these files belong already to other packages (typically bash) I intended to use dpkg-divert to make a deviation and to be able to install mine without conflicts but I don't know if it's the optimal solution. I've two questions for you : * When I install my package, either it carries out well the diversion (preinst) but I do not find my new file installed, or it installs my file but does not carry out the diversion (yes I know, it's odd, that's why I need your help :p). And when I test the command manually, all occurs correctly (diversion then suppression of this one correctly). I think that I had to mislead me but I don't know where, dpkg-divert command in preinst isn't good ? Or my idea is simply stupid ?! * I change the permissions and user and group of the files to be installed with the command "install" in my Makefile but it doesn't seem to use that, the permissions remain those of the "source". How set correctly permissions of these files ? My files : # Makefile of my "source package" files DESTDIR = $(DEBDIR)/etc install: install -d $(DESTDIR)/skel install -o root -g adm -m 664 bash.bashrc $(DESTDIR)/bash.bashrc install -o root -g adm -m 664 profile $(DESTDIR)/profile install -o root -g adm -m 664 bashrc $(DESTDIR)/skel/.bashrc install -o root -g adm -m 664 bash_profile $(DESTDIR)/skel/.bash_profile install -o root -g adm -m 664 bash_logout $(DESTDIR)/skel/.bash_logout # debian/rules export DH_COMPAT=3 configure: configure-stamp configure-stamp: dh_testdir touch configure-stamp build: build-stamp build-stamp: configure-stamp dh_testdir touch build-stamp clean: dh_testdir dh_testroot rm -f build-stamp configure-stamp rm -rf $(CURDIR)/debian/omd-base-files rm -rf ../omd-base-files_* # Add here commands to clean up after the build process. -$(MAKE) clean dh_clean install: build dh_testdir dh_testroot dh_clean -k dh_installdirs # Add here commands to install the package into debian/base-files. $(MAKE) DEBDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/omd-base-files # Build architecture-independent files here. binary-indep: build install # We have nothing to do by default. # Build architecture-dependent files here. binary-arch: build install dh_testdir dh_testroot dh_installchangelogs dh_installdocs dh_installexamples # dh_install # dh_installmenu dh_installdebconf # dh_installlogrotate # dh_installemacsen # dh_installpam # dh_installmime # dh_installinit # dh_installcron # dh_installinfo # dh_installman # dh_link # dh_strip dh_compress dh_fixperms # dh_perl # dh_python # dh_makeshlibs dh_installdeb dh_shlibdeps dh_gencontrol dh_md5sums dh_builddeb binary: binary-indep binary-arch .PHONY: build clean binary-indep binary-arch binary install configure # debian/preinst set -e dpkg-divert --package omd-base-files --add --rename --divert /etc/bash.bashrc.omd-bak /etc/bash.bashrc dpkg-divert --package omd-base-files --add --rename --divert /etc/profile.omd-bak /etc/profile dpkg-divert --package omd-base-files --add --rename --divert /etc/skel/.bashrc.omd-bak /etc/skel/.bashrc dpkg-divert --package omd-base-files --add --rename --divert /etc/skel/.bash_profile.omd-bak /etc/skel/.bash_profile dpkg-divert --package omd-base-files --add --rename --divert /etc/skel/.bash_logout.omd-bak /etc/skel/.bash_logout # debian/postrm set -e dpkg-divert --package omd-base-files --remove /etc/bash.bashrc dpkg-divert --package omd-base-files --remove /etc/profile dpkg-divert --package omd-base-files --remove /etc/skel/.bashrc dpkg-divert --package omd-base-files --remove /etc/skel/.bash_profile dpkg-divert --package omd-base-files --remove /etc/skel/.bash_logout Thanks for any help -- Richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

This is strongly not recommended (by some Debian doc..somewhere..), though it might be possible to divert the originals. Packages aren't supposed to mess with others' conffiles, even if they are custom built with that purpose in mind. Michael Spang I know that it's not recommended.

Michael Sims wrote: Have you thought about maybe taking a different approach to this altogether? I'm assuming the point of this is to make it easier to manage the configuration of a group of similar servers...or to restore the configuration of a particular server in the case of hardware failure or a system reload, right? You're right :) Personally I keep all the configuration files for my servers in a CVS module, and I use Makefiles to copy them to the right locations, set the proper permissions, and in some cases restart daemons, etc. This means all I need to do is checkout my cvs module, then run make to have the configuration files pushed out. I also have a perl helper script that does stuff like diff my files against the installed versions, etc. You may want to consider something similar...it works for me quite well. I can provide more info if you're interested. In fact I hoped that there's a method to manage that with the debian package properly. Now I'll re-examine my way of making.
