My experiences making .debs of 4.0.1 for potato
Hello!
I have downloaded the source that Branden release as phase2-v29 and
then try to make the packages.
1- try to simple debuild, and failed in compiling
2- read the docs and findout build-depends ;-)
3- installed almost everything, couldn't find dpkg 1.7 nor glide3-dev.
4- debuild again... failed agin... but redirect the output to a file.
5- discover that <glide3/*> was required for some tdfx*.
6- I disabled in the xc/config/cf/host.def the HasGlide3 and debuild again.
7- compiled ok, but no .deb created.
8- in rules I saw in install the checking for
MANIFEST.i386 <> MANIFEST.i386.new. The problem was the missing *tdfx*
9- deleted that line, dbuild again but some .deb failed. It stop when making
xserver-xfree86. The problem was the malformed Depends: line in the
control file generated.
10- looking further I discover that dh_movefiles didn't move the files, so
dh_shlibdeps didn't make the Depends line correctly.
11- It also didn't move the files of xutils.
12- the contents of xutils.files and xserver-xfree86.list ar ok. They exist
in th tmp/ dir in the right locations.
13- I saw some errors about dpkg not found.
Why dh_movefiles failed?
Is it anything to do with dpkg >= 1.7?
If it is, where is a potato dpkg >= 1.7 package? (It isn't in proposed
updates nor experimental)
