Re: fakeroot to build a package?

The first seems to be quick and not-detailed tutorial.

The others are more detailed descriptions.

What package failed that first approach, in which step and what was the error message?

Anyway I found it quite hard to went through the understanding the debian packaging by myself.

There are many tools and ways to do the same thing. Still don't know all the details.

Hello,

I came across this building tutorial [1]. It advertises using
fakeroot debian/rules binary
command to build a package. Needless to say it doesn't work for all packages.
I find this tutorial confusing. I know of two other IMHO better pages
on the topic [2] and [3].
Did I miss something or the first wiki needs fixing.?

[1] https://wiki.debian.org/BuildingTutorial
[2] https://wiki.debian.org/IntroDebianPackaging
[3] https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/

Thanks,
Eugene
