Re: creating a debian package that doesn't require compiling...
Jeremy Higgs:
I cannot see anything wrong...?? but I still get a 'missing
separator' error!
It's a standard Makefile, so you need to have tabs before the commands
that defines the target. You've removed the initial tabs from the dh_
lines.

ok, I put in tabs into the rules file, and fixed up some errors in
the control file, and this was the output of creating it:

so... there were no errors, but there still are some files missing.
there is a file (from the RPM version) that is supposed to be
installed into /etc/init.d/. How do I do that?
there's also a etc/firewall.conf file that is GENERATED after the
install (otherwise it will not find any of the modules in
/etc/firewall-modules/). this is done by typing /etc/rc.firewall
--update-config (rc.firewall is supposed to go in
/etc/rc.d/rc.firewall, but debian doesn't have an rc.d dir, so I put
it in /etc, unless there is a better place?)
there is also an S11firewall file in the tarball, which I would like
to include. How do I ensure it is installed into /etc/rc2.3 ,
/etc/rc3.d and /etc/rc.4d (any others?)?
thanks!!!
