From my experience, I expect that we can do even without custom install rules in most cases. > #!/usr/bin/make -f > include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk > include /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/hlibrary.mk > > build/$(CABAL_PACKAGE):: build-ghc-stamp > > install/$(CABAL_PACKAGE):: debian/tmp-inst-ghc > cd debian/tmp-inst-ghc ; find usr/bin/ \ > -exec install -Dm 755 '{}' ../$(notdir $@)/'{}' ';' > > Which is sucessfully building and packaging my (admittedly simple) smtp2mta > package. It is a start. If course, you should not install any library files (see the find parameter sets in hlibrary.mk). I guess there are 5 classes of files in tmp-ghc-inst that hlibrary needs to shove in the right packages. * Library files * Prof files * Doc files * Binaries * Rest (which ought to be data) If hlibrary makes sensible guesses for the intended package for each of these 5 classes, and if the guesses are overridable, no custom custom install rules should be required.
