Debian "prefers" more or less standard build systems to arcane handwritten ones, but OTOH replacing the build system of a package is actually done only in rare cases. That said, I guess qmake can be considered standard for Qt applications. > So then there was a discussion about whether to use debhelper or cdbs > and I was suggested to ask here That probably comes down to personal preference. Personally, I never could wrap my head around cdbs and found debhelper more obvious because there's less behind the scenes magic going on. OTOH I never really *tried* to understand cdbs so I can't really compare the two systems. cheers -- vbi -- Finagle's First Law: If an experiment works, something has gone wrong.
