Hi, * Thomas -Balu- Walter <debian@b-a-l-u.de> [2003-08-27 18:07]: | As usual I've used the New Maintainers' Guide to get started and nearly | all went well. Besides two warnings lintian gives me: | | W: camsource source: newer-standards-version 3.5.10 | -> which should be fixed by a new lintian version; I've used the one | from testing | W: camsource: postinst-should-not-set-usr-doc-link | -> should be fixed with a new debhelper (if built on unstable e.g.) | | So I can ignore those warnings, correct? you _must_ use sid/unstable to build your packages. If the package is only for yourself, you can safely ignore the lintian warnings above. | Another problem I experienced is that I have to start dpkg-buildpackage | using -kdebian@b-a-l-u.de, because it tries to find a key related to | 'Thomas -Balu- Walter <debian@b-a-l-u.de>', but gpg stored my key as | 'Thomas Walter (Balu) <debian@b-a-l-u.de>'. | | Is it a bug or a feature that dpkg-buildpackage doesn't only use the | email address to make gpg search for keys? dpkg-buildpackage tries to sign the package with your name, which is used in the debian/changelog file. You can change the name (and email) in this file to the name which is used for your gpg key. | Checking the contents of the .deb lists some include-files which should | not be there IMHO. Am I supposed to put them in a camsource-dev package | as they are only needed if one wants to develop new modules? What would | be the best way to handle those? fixing the makefile or simply removing the include files after the "make install". rm -fr $(CURDIR)/debian/camsource/usr/include Bye Thorsten -- Thorsten Sauter <tsauter@gmx.net> (Is there life after /sbin/halt -p?)
