Hi Evangelos
Found also this page https://coderwall.com/p/urkybq/how-to-create-debian-package-from-source
But I am not getting anywhere.
My tentative package is however extremely simple
It contains 3 files
- the binary (to go into /usr/bin)
- the icon
- the .desktop file
The sources are here : https://github.com/grosjo/tomboy-reborn
How to know the files needed, and is there "tar" or similar software to create the ".deb" file form a files tree ?
Thank you so much
JM

Hi, I originally got started with [ 1], however you should probably consult the new version [ 2]. This should hopefully help you figure things out.

Hi
I am really sorry to bother you, but I am a bit lost.
I created a .deb file (see https://github.com/grosjo/tomboy-reborn/tree/master/packages ) so I should now create a deb-src package, right ?
The wiki page you mentioned does not really explain how to do so. Is there a simple, step-by-step, process described somewhere ?
THank you so much

This is not a "source package" as the source is in Pascal (using Lazarus compiler package). Should I include the Pascal source also ?
You need to create a Debian source package that can be built to produce a Debian binary package. It doesn't really matter what language is used or what should be contained in the binary package. The workflow is the same. https://wiki.debian.org/Packaging/SourcePackage
