Re: Getting started - Q about post int procedures etc.
Hi,
I have a uuencoded tar.gz file with a number of debian
directories. These are fully working live directories: No known
bugs.
email me if you wan tthis. The README is attached below (I
shall be uploading this to the developers coner withing the week.)

Here are a set of ./debian directories. A short description
follows. All are live debian directories frozen at the time of
writing, complete with maintainer scripts and emacs .el files and
menu files and all.
All the rules files are quite similair; and since I tend to
copy a rules file over to a new package area, all my rules files
tend to have a very similar look and feel.
This should serve well as a learning by example set. Any
feedback (espescially patches) shall be appreciated. This is
approximately 170K tarred and compressed, and 233K uuencoded.
miscfiles Just a bunch of files installed in various places. A
bare bones minimalistic package.
cvs-buildpackage One of the simplest packages I have
kernel-package A relatively simple package.
angband-doc A simple derivative of the angband package rules;
essentially there are just help files that need to be
installed.
sgml-base Also very simple; the only thing of possible interest
is in the rules file where we convert the SGML to text
and HTML iff the debaindoc2<blah> converters are
available.
make The package I used as a learning tool; in my eyes,
this is ``the'' typical package. Also shows you how
to get HTML files into a separate package.
angband A fairly generic makefile, with the exception that
there are a lot of library files involved in a
special heirarchy, and some of them need to be conf
files. The rules file does not need to know the names
of these files, which is good since they change often.
c2man A simple package, except that it shows how to deal
with a Perl style Configure file.
dist A large package, which shows how to deal with a Perl
style Configure file.
mailagent A Configure style package, with a large examples dir
and an in place patch of the binary in the postinst.
libcgi-perl A package to handle a typical CPAN style
package. This shows how to get the man pages in the
correct directories, and all.
pkg-order Another CPAN style package, with an auto genearation
of the version.pl file based on the changelog entry.
psgml An emacs package, with byte compilation, info files,
and a site-stard.d file.
vm Another emacs package, with the el files split into
another package
kernel Complex package showing how kernel paclkages are
built. Not something to look at at an early stage of
learning about rules files. But it shows the power of
the rules file, and what one may do with it
latex2html This was difficult to write, and has a few
interesting variations. Sets up icons in conformance
with the web standard; add things to the TeX
heirarchy.
