dh_movefiles fails
Hi,
I'm currently trying to debianize a small server/library/client tool
suite I'm developing for the ACPI4Linux project. I followed the steps in
the Debian New Maintainer's Guide (from the DDP), but ran into a problem
with dh_movefiles that I didn't find documented somewhere. The package is
a multi-binary package, with the main package being "acpitools".
There are two cases:
1. debian/acpitools.files is empty or doesn't exist. dh_movefiles fails
with:
/usr/bin/dh_movefiles: eval: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file
2. debian/acpitools.files contains the files that should go into the
acpitools package. Then the error is:
dh_movefiles: I was asked to move files from debian/tmp to debian/tmp.
I can't find anything about whether or not I should create a file list
for the main package in the docs, and I assume it's pretty indifferent.
With deb-make instead of dh_make it worked but tarred the empty
directories that were left when the files for the other packages had been
moved out into the main package.
I have put up the tarball as
http://phobos.fs.tum.de/~geier/acpitools-0.0.20000202.tar.gz , in case you
want to take a look at it. The programs inside don't do much yet, as I've
not yet come around to place the more useful daemons in CVS.
TIA
Simon
