New pacakge ...

["Richard G. Roberto" <richr@bear.com>]

Hi,

I'm still working on getting this new package done.  I'm trying
to generate the packages using dpkg-buildpackage, but I'm having
trouble.  first I built the binary package by running
debian/rules by hand (just to get it ti work).  I wound up
getting errors from /usr/lib/dpkg/controllib.pl, line 29.

That line now looks like this:

    my ($lhs,,,);

instead of this:

    my $lhs,,,;

I hope this is OK.  Anyway, when I use dpkg-buildpackage to do
the build, I need to do it as root, or it barks.  However, root
does not have a PGP profile at all (and will not), so the
signing stuff fails.  I tried feeding "pgp -u richr" as the pgp
command, but that apparently just looks in roots secret ke file
for user richr (and root doesn't have a secret key ring).
I also tried using -p"su richr -c pgp" which seems like it should
work after having a look at the dpkg-buildpackage script, but it
doesn't.  

Anyhow, the binary package builds with a different
md5sum than the one I built from debian/rules by hand.  I have no
idea what to make of this.  your suggestions would be
appreciated.

Thanks
