Re: engrid in debian

I am new to packaging

Good news :-)

i did a doc package a long time ago. Engrid is a mesh generator
which outputs grids both in openfoam and su2 format, with a nice
interface built via qt4. It was funded by the ESA and is still under
development; current version is 1.4. In my opinion it is an important
package because gmsh, in debian, is a bit limited and a mesh
generator is a key software in the CFD toolchain.  So far I have
successfully compiled it in my debian 8 with few lintian
warnings I cannot get rid of:
W: engrid-doc: empty-binary-package
W: engrid-blenderscripts: empty-binary-package
W: engrid: extra-license-file usr/share/doc/engrid/gpl.txt.gz
W: engrid: extra-license-file usr/share/doc/engrid/licence.txt

I have tried to manually delete those /usr/share/doc/ files but they keep
regenerating...Any help would be apprecated.

What you can do is build the software, then in d/rules remove all the
files that you do not need. Finally, "install" all the remaining
software in the appropriate binary packages.

Where is the packaged software ?

Cheers,
Filippo
