Re: Best practice for packages using devhelp for their API documentation

If there is a consensus on this matter, should this be documented somewhere (policy, dev-ref) and bugs be filed against the packages not complying to this policy? Maybe see what the Debian maintainer of devhelp thinks? Also, what does he think about the possibility of patching devhelp for Debian to look for docs in /usr/share/doc/package/html as well as in the default /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/package location? If that were done there would be no need for symlinks. So, I don't think the symlinks are harmful, and thus do not see a need for patching devhelp in this sense.

I'm guessing you do given the d-desktop mailing list inclusion .. ;) What do you people think of modifying the window managers to look for skippy and start it when initing?

I trying to do good package hand by hand, but after dh_make, --prefix=/usr.. and dpkg-buildpackage in the output there are binaries in /bin, not /usr/bin - I don't know what I do wrong, so I think maybe is some program for create debs easly?. Can you help me? I don't know of such a program, but it is easy to write a control file, create the directory tree inside a dir and create the package from the binaries hehehe anyway, your problem is simple to solve... the default installation command put on by dh_make is: $(MAKE) install prefix=$(CURDIR)/debian/packagename and it should be: $(MAKE) install prefix=$(CURDIR)/debian/packagename/usr just change that and things will go correctly (if this is the problem, of course) [by the way, I shall file a wishlist against dh_make because of that... if no one's done it already] []s! -- Gustavo Noronha Silva - kov http://www.metainfo.org/kov *-* -+-+--+-+--+-+--+-+--+-+--+-+--+-+--+-+--+-+--+-+-+ | .''`. | Debian GNU/Linux: http://www.debian.org | | : :' : + Debian BR...: http://debian-br.cipsga.org.br+ | `. `'` + Q: Why did the chicken cross the road? + | `-| A: Upstream's decision. -- hmh | *-* -+-+--+-+--+-+--+-+--+-+--+-+--+-+--+-+--+-+--+-+-+ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

upgrading smoothly
Hello all,
so I have this package, prozgui, and it makes 3 packages:
prozgui, libprozilla1 and libprozilla1-dev.
I had prozgui depending on libprozilla before, but the so version
has changed and I bumped the name of the package to libprozilla1
(what do I do now? ask to remove libprozilla from the archives?)
ok, but that's not my main problem... it is that I cannot find
a way for prozgui to be upgraded automatically... I did:
Package: libprozilla1
Section: libs
Architecture: any
Conflicts: libprozilla
Replaces: libprozilla
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}
Package: libprozilla1-dev
Section: devel
Architecture: any
Depends: libprozilla1
Package: prozgui
Architecture: any
Conflicts: libprozilla
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}
and I thought that would be enough to make prozgui to upgrade
nicely, what's the problem and what should I do?
ps: There's a bug report on it, reporter said it prozgui needs
to Replaces: libprozilla, but I did not even try that because it
doesn't seem clean to me...
thanks

apt-howto's package
Hello my friends, I'd like to have your advice on this: I am the author and packager of apt-howto, as soon as it was translated into english from portuguese, I packaged it and added it to the DDP, I was adviced, on the -devel list to just create one package: apt-howto with all the translations of the manual, but I am now receiving more translations and I think it will be a waste of space for the one who installs it... I want to create apt-howto-$lang packages and probably one apt-howto meta-package that'll depend on all of them, as I don't like to be english-centric, and will not be satisfied installing apt-howto-en when asked for apt-howto, my target is the world, and not the enlighs-readers, what do you think?

Adding a script to make menu item work
Hello all =) I maintain a package wich is console based and receives an url to download as argument (at least). I did not make an item for it on Debian menu because it's no good to add a default URL ;) I was wondering about creating a script that would be a wrapper that would be called in the default terminal emulator and would ask the user for a url, then for a directory where to download to and then call the program passing any arguments that are needed... Is it good policy? Should I add this script to debian/? thanks []s! -- Gustavo Noronha Silva - kov http://www.metainfo.org/kov ** | .''`. | Debian GNU/Linux: http://www.debian.org| | : :' : | Debian BR...: http://debian-br.sourceforge.net | | `. `'` | Be Happy!

using conditionals in autoconf/automake
Hello all, I need help with stuff regarding a configure.in and a Makefile.am, I'm stucked trying to find a way to make the 'make install' command conditionally install some files. I want it to test if GNOME is available (it is being done in configure), if it is, make install will install aditional pics and applet configuration files... if not, it won't install, how do I do it? Another thing: what is needed to add an applet to gnome? I copied the prg_appplet.desktop to /usr/share/applets/Network but it doesn't appear in the selection menu.. I start the applet and next time I enter gnome it seems not to know how to start it again so it doesn't apper (just as a foot I mean)... thanks for any help =) []s! -- Gustavo Noronha Silva - kov http://www.metainfo.org/kov *--* | .''`. | Debian GNU/Linux: http://www.debian.org| (___) | | : :' : | Debian BR...: http://debian-br.sourceforge.net | o o | | `. `'` | Be Happy!

I'll surely build-depend in gnome but I'll compile the program in 2 packages, one with gnome enabled and other with gnome disabled That said, try AC_CHECK_PROG in configure.in to set a variable, and then use that in the Makefile: something like AC_CHECK_PROG(TEST_GNOME, gnome-config, yes, no)? there's one already but how do I check for it in Makefile.am? already set, do nothing. Calls `AC_SUBST' for VARIABLE. I did a not-so-beatiful hack using AC_SUBST but I would still like to know how to do it the Right Way (tm) And I'm still wishing to know how to put in a new gnome applet =) I have one more question... I set up new commands for distclean: and clean: rules in my Makefile.am like this: distclean: rm -f `find . -name \*~` rm -f po/*.gmo clean: rm -f `find . -name \*~` rm -f po/*.gmo but whenever I run make distclean/clean, I keep receiving messages like this: Makefile:453: warning: overriding commands for target `distclean' Makefile:426: warning: ignoring old commands for target `distclean' I did this change to avoid po/*.gmo being in the tar.gz when debianizing it cause they're binary and they're modified so dpkg-source complains... any clue about that?
