how to create a debian package from an icon pack ?[simple rules file ]

[Jabka Atu <mashrom.head@gmail.com>]

I guess not many will ever need it but ...

So  you downloaded your favorite icon pack and you to create a
KDE-icon-foo package.

if there will changes i will post them here :
http://bsh83.blogspot.com/2007/12/how-to-create-debian-package-from-icon.html
just remember to hold your icon pack inside a tar.gz (compress the dir)

the script (rules file ) i used :
#!/usr/bin/make -f
#
#
#    This Rules script had been created by Boris Shtrasman and it is
released under the GPLv3 license
#    to use it you should :
#    1. download your favorite icon set.
#    2. create a directory : kde-icon-"iconpackname"-"version"
#    3. Using dh_make create a debian package :
#     dh_make --f sourcefile from the directory with the name
kde-icon-whatever-version
#    4. Edit control + changelog + dirs +copyrights
#    5. copy this file inside debian/ directory.
#    6. change the `package=kde-icons-nuovext` string to
#        `package=kde-icon-"iconpackname"-"version" `
#    7. run dpkg-rfakeroot
#    8. post yout package some where on the net
#
#   


package=kde-icons-nuovext

#let collect some info :
#
#
# First let get the name i thought using :
# tar -tf `ls *.tar.gz` | `awk '{print $1}'` but then it is really long
operation .. (takes to much time)
