Non-Debian packaging practice
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Is there a document describing software packaging good practices for
general use, not specific to Debian, preferably in electronic form?
Debian discourages creating Debian-native packages: "This type of
packaging is only appropriate for the debian-specific packages, which
will never be useful in another distribution." [1] But creating it
for other distributions requires some knowledge of what those other
distributions expect of a package.
The current interest here is primarily in packages consisting of shell
scripts, as opposed to compilable code, but presumably the question
arises in either case.
