Re: RFS: Looking for a mentor for my dspdfviewer package
Hi Danny
(sending privately)
please do *not* use cdbs :)
It will scare you away!
I do not like it, dh is really better, and fortunately people are switching to dh :)
cheers,
G.

Ah yes, it says something like that for me now too, once I install
dspdfviewer-dbg. Success!

I think the entire open source concept is great - instead of
re-inventing the wheel, I could simply link a couple of libraries (which
were in Debian) together and create the program I needed.
Now I finally managed to give back to that pool, and I hope the program
will help someone on their Bachelor thesis or similar presentation,
saving them from re-inventing the wheel in turn.

Those sections were directly cut-and-paste from the Debian wiki at
https://wiki.debian.org/DebugPackage.
So if there's a better way to handle -dbg packages with debhelper 9,
this documentation site should be updated too.
It also seems that the CDBS software is designed to do the splitting of
"main" and "debug" binary package with one command. I will read into
CDBS aswell, maybe I can simplify debian/rules by using that.
I will report back once I find out more.

Thank you very much. I wouldn't mind helping out when I can. I'll go
through the wnpp list, see if anything I am actively using asks for
help, and communicate with you about the details.
PS: You don't have to CC me for on-list-mails either, I have
debian-mentors subscribed aswell.
