Re: Re: Where is templato to create package?

A few more thoughts came to me...

Two things up front...

The repository isn't constructed with pristine-tar, so I don't have a way to get the upstream source tarball and I can't build the quilt format package without that. Perhaps someone more experienced with Debian packaging has a different idea for getting past this.


Of course, it can be built with debuild -b, but I don't know if that is an accepted procedure. Most of my experience is in the debian-hpc group, and everything I have run into uses pristine-tar to archive the original source.
 
d/control Upstream-Contact specifies your information. This directive should identify the upstream author.


Sorry, I meant d/copyright. If you are truly the upstream contact, then the existing statement is fine.

The second Files paragraph doesn't reference a license. I think it's supposed to have this information, but lintian isn't complaining about it.

d/copyright should probably attribute Files:* to upstream and d/* to the maintainer.

In d/control, Vcs-Git is incorrect. Vcs-Browser points to an unknown repository page.
 
d/changelog needs to reference the ITP bug number, like (Closes: #12345).

Cheers.

I was looking for the same when I started out with Debian packaging. This looks pretty good as an intro, although it is PERL-centric: http://wiki.opf-labs.org/display/SP/The+Hello+World+Debian+Package

Debian packaging has a lot of features that aren't required or needed for every package, and there are typically two or more ways to do most things.

If you are working with upstream source, learn the basics of packaging then learn how to use git-based packaging. I had to redo all of my repositories once I learned about packaging with git. pristine-tar is the way to go, if you want to be consistent with most of the quilt format packaging that I've run into.


Good luck!

Hi guys,


Ok, can You show me source code of package?
I'm searching but not found.
I ask about file and formats.

I must create a package first. This is only one file.
