Packaging for Sid on the Debian machines?

2004-03-09 Thread Jörgen Hägg
I'm trying to compile and pack on different architectures, but after my first attempt I realized that all Debian hosts are running Woody, not Sid. Question: how and where do I build for Sid? Has '+chroots' anything to do with it? (Like bruckner: "woody Debian GNU/Linux (+chroots)")

How do I compile for different architectures?

2004-03-04 Thread Jörgen Hägg
I'm maintaining a package in non-free, which means that it will probably never be compiled automatically (lowest priority). So I need to do that myself. And I can find the available compile hosts on http://db.debian.org/machines.cgi. I usually builds my package using 'dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroo

Is it better with fewer packages than a minimum of dependencies?

2003-09-20 Thread Jörgen Hägg
I'm writing a general monitoring system (free of course :-) and right now I've ten generated packages from it. The main reason for separating them is the dependency-list, they are slightly different for each package. Also, I want to give the user the ability to just install the most necessary.

subdirectories in /usr/lib/cgi-bin? (and html-pages)

2003-05-20 Thread Jörgen Hägg
I've been searching the policy for guidance about cgi-scripts. The only thing I find is that they should be placed in /usr/lib/cgi-bin. But if there are several programs with short names that may collide with other packages, is it ok to put them in /usr/lib/cgi-bin/package-name/? Or would that b

perl modules in /usr/lib & /usr/share?

2003-04-24 Thread Jörgen Hägg
Lintian complains about .pm-files in /usr/lib/perl5, it wants to have them in /usr/share/perl5, which normally is correct. But if the perl-module has both binary and nonbinary files? (I'm trying to remove any warnings for libio-pty-perl. :-) Should all files for a perl module reside in the same

expiring gpg key, how do I update it?

auto-builders, how do they work?

I'm curious about how the auto-builders work, somehow I didn't find enough info about them, except for buildd (http://buildd.debian.org/). My question is: how do I make my packages available for all architectures? (Or at least, as many as possible. :-) Should I do something or does the auto-bui
