Re: How to create package without source code

Hi,

> I read in the dokus,

Did you already read
  https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/first.en.html
especially
  https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/first.en.html#simplemake
?

It should be possible to make a Makefile that makes nothing.
E.g.:

  (echo "all:" ; echo $'\t'"echo done") >Makefile

creates a Makefile, which lets "make" say

  echo done
  done 


If you are modifying an existing .deb, then you should try to find out
how it was built. There are lots of alternative tools which may do the job.

After investing due effort to find answers myself, i post packaging
questions to
  debian-mentors@lists.debian.org


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
