Re: Deb packaging: Placing binaries in special directory root?



Hello,

You also need to rename the packages to make them co-installable, but if you don't need to have both installed, don't bother changing the prefix and just make an unofficial backport of the mapserver 7 package for your distro.

Thanks for input. I gave up trying to make the packages have /usr/mapserver7 as root. Instead, I created a set of mapserver7 packages which have binaries in the normal paths (e.g. /usr/bin/mapserv) and made the mapserver7 packages conflict the normal mapserver packages (so an apt upgrade will not replace mapserver 7 with mapserver 8).

The result is available at https://launchpad.net/~troels-w/+archive/ubuntu/mapserver7
