Help building packages.
Hi,
I am relatively new at attempting to build source/binary packages. I've
been looking for information online and this is what I have to go on. Any
pointers would be really helpful.
The first thing that I did was to use dpkg-deb. My first question is,
what are control/changelog files and how would I create one? Everytime I
try to package something, it tries to locate 'debian/control' or
'debian/changelog'. The only thing that seems to alleviate this is
'dpkg-deb -b --nocheck <dir>.'
Right now, I've switched over to using 'dpkg-buildpackages', but the same
error(s) still persists. If there is anyone out there who wouldn't mind
teaching me on a 1v1 session, I'd be in your debt. I learn better from a
actual person than through docs. Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Bill
