Packaging read via git. After a bit more help and some goggling I packaged read without a tarball this afternoon. So couple notes
mkdir sugar-read-activity-87 cd sugar-read-activity-87 note: The directory name must match the package name. git init note: we just need to initialize the local repo tar xf ../initial_debianization.tar.gz note: I keep a copy of initial_debianization.tar.gz in my home dir. --edit the contents of debian as needed. see http://wiki.debian.org/Sugar/GettingStartedGuide --append the follow snippet to the end of debian/rules ---- # Rules for fetching the upstream tarball # Define the git repo and package name.
