Bug#964087: RFS: TomboyReborn/1.0-1 - Drop in replacement of deprecated Gnome Tomboy



Hi Evangelos

Found also this page https://coderwall.com/p/urkybq/how-to-create-debian-package-from-source

But I am not getting anywhere.

 


My tentative package is however extremely simple

It contains 3 files

- the binary (to go into /usr/bin)

- the icon

- the .desktop file


The sources are here : https://github.com/grosjo/tomboy-reborn


How to know the files needed, and is there "tar" or similar software to create the ".deb" file form a files tree ?

Thank you so much

JM

Hi,

I originally got started with [1], however you should probably consult the new
version [2]. This should hopefully help you figure things out.

Hi

I am really sorry to bother you, but I am a bit lost.

I created a .deb file (see
https://github.com/grosjo/tomboy-reborn/tree/master/packages ) so I should now
create a deb-src package, right ?

The wiki page you mentioned does not really explain how to do so. Is there a
simple, step-by-step, process described somewhere ?

THank you so much

This is not a "source package" as the source is in Pascal (using Lazarus
compiler package). Should I include the Pascal source also ?
You need to create a Debian source package that can be built to produce a
Debian binary package.
It doesn't really matter what language is used or what should be contained
in the binary package. The workflow is the same.
