Bug#568303: ITP: can-utils Debian package
Hi,
after a long absence, I have updated the Debian packages of socketCAN.
Now there are two packages (for the moment) can-utils and can-modules, which
are based on the gitorious repositories of the same name. The package name has
changed from socketcan-utils to can-utils to reflect the current layout on
gitorious.
* can-utils is the main package with the executables.
The gitweb of Debian for can-utils is now at:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/can-utils.git;a=summary
The following should create and install a Debian package of can-utils for you:
<shell>
git clone git://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/can-utils.git
cd can-utils
git-buildpackage
sudo dpkg -i ../can-utils_0.0.2+gitba9b189-1_i386.deb
</shell>
Have the man pages been removed intentionally from can-utils in the transition
from Berlios to gitorious? For the moment the packages don't include the
manpages therefore.
* As we are needing Debian packages for ISO-TP and it is not yet in the
mainline kernel AFAIK, I have also created a package with can-bcm.ko, can-
isotp.ko, can.ko and can-raw.ko. Please correct me, if this is already on the
way into the mainline kernel. (gitorious gives me lots of 500's for commit
overview, etc.) Once it has landed there, this package is not needed anymore.
gitweb of can-modules:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/can-modules.git;a=summary
Procedure:
<shell>
git clone git://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/can-modules.git
cd can-modules
git-buildpackage
sudo dpkg -i ../can-modules_0.0.2+git6b92067-1_all.deb
sudo m-a a-i -t can-modules
</shell>
Feedback on the packages is appreciated.
BR,
Markus
