Fwd: Re: New Package Developer



I've forwarded this message of mine to this group and will be looking forward 
to any help I can get.

I put the following line in for where to install the library routines in the 
makefile:

GHCDSTLIB = debian/tmp/lib/`ghc --version | tr -d "a-zA-Z ,"`/Fudgets

It seems to work.

Have you read the New Maintainers Guide? After that you should be
pretty much able to make packages. More info can be found in the
debian-policy if needed.

The best group would be debian-mentors

You could try to parse the output of 'ghc --version'
