Take a look at libgdf: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libgdf
thank you, that's exactly what I was looking for.
I made some edits according to the examples in libgdf, the updated package can be found at
https://mentors.debian.net/package/zmat
There are two remaining problems that I would like to get some inputs.
1. it gives me an error "missing-dependency-on-libc", although
I've already included "${shlibs:Depends}" in my
octave-zmat package, the debuild command reports the below
warning
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: Depends field of package
octave-zmat: unknown substitution variable ${shlibs:Depends}
however, it did not have such issue when building libzmat1 package where ${shlibs:Depends} was also used.
2. in the Fedora package I created for this package, I dynamically create the COPYING/DESCRIPTION/INDEX files during the package setup, see
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/octave-zmat/blob/master/f/octave-zmat.spec#_28
I am wondering what is the best place for me to add these commands?
thanks
Qianqian
Best,
