Good evening, I'm trying to package Meganizer (a software from us) for Debian. Since my goal is the upload into the debian archives, I want to produce a good package. But first, what is Meganizer: Meganizer is an application based on Qt to manage media collections (right now books and music). It uses MySQL as database server and can have some KDE4 bindings (for example it uses KWallet to store the login, more details can be found at http://www.engsas.com/meganizer). Because it can but not need KDE stuff, I want to produce 2 versions of the package. I want also produce (per version) a library and the application as a package. So I want to produce this packages: libmeganizer meganizer libmeganizer-kde meganizer-kde My biggest problem is, that the first two binaries (non kde versions) are empty binaries (see lintian errors below). The other warning I do not understand is the W: meganizer source: maintainer-script-lacks-debhelper-token debian/libmeganizer.postinst, because shlib creates a libmeganizer-kde.postinst.debhelper. I think the other stuff can I fix by myself. The last question is: We use Amazon API to get media information, therefore I compile my amazon keys into the binary. So to keep that working is the question, does debian recompile the packages automatically out of the source package? By the way, the Meganizer sources can be downloaded from http://ftp.engsas.de/unstable/src/meganizer-0.3.0.tar.gz. The used Debian dir is attached. Thanks for any help!
