==> I'm not sure what my (tablet) mailer did with my initial posting, but you might have got it garbled, hence I apologize and send it again. Eric Hi, I would tend to agree with what Paul wrote but IANAL and you should ask on debian-legal for a more authoritative answer. A few more comments below

Re: Multiples binaries with different versions from one source file?

Re: Global environment variable.

2008-09-30 Thread Eric Lavarde - Debian
And if it's nevertheless a packaging question (i.e. how to add a global variable as part of the installation of a package), the policy states that no executable can depend on the definition of a global variable, hence your package should not define any global variable (but you should document that

Hi Olivier, I move this thread to debian-java, where it belongs :-) - debian-mentors in Bcc I think that the short answer is that there is no such howto, but I might be wrong: - there was a thread about the topic http://lists.debian.org/debian-java/2007/12/msg00039.html (and you can search furthe

Re: Packaging automation - separation of 'debian/' directory

2006-09-07 Thread Eric Lavarde - Debian
Hi Ben, if you create yourself the orig.tar.gz, the building tools from debian don't try to create it themselves. i.e. something like: tar cvzf foo_X.Y.orig.tar.gz --exclude=foo-X.Y/debian foo-X.Y before actually building the package should solve your problem. Hope this helps, Eric -- You don't

Hello, I'm trying to add a 'get-orig-source' target to my debian/rules file, and it looks like this: get-orig-source: debian/export-freemind-cvs.sh 0.8.0+01 FM-0-8-0 It works quite fine, but the Debian policy manual specifies under [1] that "This target may be invoked in any directory",

Re: Packaging Barcode Writer in Pure PostScript

2005-09-06 Thread Eric Lavarde - Debian
Hi, sorry for this, but I think another round might be required: 1. move sample.ps, barcode_with_sample.ps, docs/* from debian/install to debian/docs. 2. I think you should just remove the Depends line (as far as I understand the thing you could just "cat barcode_with_sample.ps > /dev/lp0" and it
