Hello mentors,
I am just packaging my Pidgin Last.fm Plugin for Debian and am wondering how
to get a .changes file. The problem is that the plugin consists of a single
perl script which is copied to /usr/lib/pidgin. What I already did is:
- Create a fodler structure with the file system tree I

Sounds easy - but how do I get it to copy my one single file? What Dmitry
suggested does not quite work ...

Changes since the last upload:
* NMU to fix RC bugs.
* debian/control: add dependency on rubygems or recent enough ruby
(Closes: #693994).
* debian/postinst: replace exit status -1 with 2 for shell compatibility
(Closes: #687449).

Currently, I do not really plan on doing more work on the package, just RC
bug fixing.

Hi Michael,

Hi,
I am packaging some scripts (for local distribution), so I am both
upstream and maintainer ;).
The sources tree includes a Makefile providing the default targets for
building and installing.
The preinst script creates a system user, and this is the user the
scripts should be owned by (
I do wonder why some scripts have to be owned by a particular user
instead of root, could you explain this?
Although I don't see how this answers my question, it is intended to
have the execution of these scripts limited to users within a group.
Please read debian-policy 10.9 and 10.9.1:

In that special case, I'd even say your versioning "mistake" is good because
upstream's ~ notation is a mess. That char is reserved for Debian ;) (yes,
