Automatic generation of miscellaneous dependencies.
Some debhelper commands may make the generated package need to depend
on some other packages. For example, if you use dh_installdebconf(1),
your package will generally need to depend on debconf. Or if you use
dh_installxfonts(1), your package will generally need to depend on a
particular version of xutils. Keeping track of these miscellaneous
dependencies can be annoying since they are dependant on how debhelper
does things, so debhelper offers a way to automate it.
All commands of this type, besides documenting what dependencies may be
needed on their man pages, will automatically generate a substvar
called ${misc:Depends}. If you put that token into your debian/control
file, it will be expanded to the dependencies debhelper figures you
need.
-- debhelper(7)
If you don't care about debhelper commands needing to add new dependencies
later then you can remove it if you want to, but it is a better idea to leave
it in. It's unfortunate that dpkg generates an ugly build message if it's
empty, but it does do the right thing.
Thank you for the explanation. Just for precaution I'll put
the variable ${misc:Depends} back again in the control file.
But since currently it's not being used, I'll not upload the
package to mentors again.
I have a question about uploading to mentors. I know that I
have to increase the Debian revision number every time I
make a new revision of the package. But since currently I'm
only improving the conformance of the package to Debian
policy, and not fixing any bug in the program itself, I'm
simply replacing the old package with a new one. Should I
add entries to the changelog acknowledging these changes in
the debian subdirectory even though the package isn't in
the official repository?

Hi,
Thank you, Mario Iseli, for your suggestions (and for
reopening this thread), and thank you Russ Allbery and

According to Debian policy (version 3.6.2.2; section 5.6.8),
all indicates an architecture-independent package, and
any indicates a package available for building on any
architecture. Since statist is a binary package, the most
appropriate is the use of any. I suppose that it can be
built in any architecture supported by Debian, although I
actually have only compiled it under i386 and amd64.

Your were correct. dpkg-gencontrol output:
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unknown substitution variable ${misc:Depends}
Thus, I removed the second variable.

Re: RFS: statist - Small and fast terminal-based statistics program
Hi, I've had many problems building the package for some reasons. One of them was that I was using Debian stable. So, I usually thought that the package was lintian and linda clean when in, fact, it wasn't. Although I can't have a pure unstable system here, I upgraded some packages (dpkg, lintian, linda, debhelper). Thanks to the help that I received here, I hope that now there is no longer any problem that might prevent the package of being uploaded. I uploaded the files to mentors repository to avoid the ever changing links of wald.intevation.org.

Thanks, Alexander! On Sunday, the links were all pointing to

same file. Now, as you noted, the links changed, but it
seems that the directory number is more important than the
file name that follows it. I don't know why, since I'm only
a user of the site.
- debian/control
- Current standards version ist not 3.6.1
I changed it to 3.6.2. Ok?
- Would be nice to add upstreams homepage to the package description
Added.
- Not a native english speaker myself so better ask someone who knows
better: I think you don't need the comma at in scripts, and big in
the package desctiption
I removed the commas. You might be correct: English uses
less commas than Portuguese.
- debian/copyright
- The address of the FSF has changed
I noted the difference in addresses when was making the
package. I'll correct the address in the upstream package
for the next version of the program, but I'm not including
the file COPYING in the the Debian package. The file
copyright has the correct address, and it asks the user to
see /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2.
- debian/README.debian
- Uhm... I don't see any valuable information in there...
Deleted.
- debian/rules
- (Just a personal note) I found it quite easier to read, if all those
commented dh_foos are removed, not just commented
dh_foo commented lines deleted. I had almost not changed the
rules created by dh_make. I've only added the option
-Xmanual to dh_compress, although I'm not 100% sure that
this is accordance with the Debian Policy, which says that
most files have to be compressed. However, some systems are
not configured to transparently deal with .pdf.gz, and the
user of statist have to read the manual if he or she wants
to know how to prepare data files for statist.
Beside that, I couldn't find any problems with your package (but I did
only a quick view)... Please not howerver, that you really should check
your packages with lintian, that would have found you the outdated
standards and the FSF address problems.
I've checked it with lintian (1.23.8) and linda
(0.3.13.sarge.1). But, as I told above, I'm not using the
file COPYING, where the old address is.
I uploaded the new files, downloaded with wget, and
dpkg-source them. Two links CHANGED again:

RFS: statist - Small and fast terminal-based statistics program
Hello Mentors! Statist is a simple software, and, because it's very easy to use, I believe that it's good for introductory classes of statistics. Portuguese and German translations are complete, and most strings were also translated into Spanish and Italian. The license is GNU GPL. Description in the control file: Statist is a statistics program with an interactive menu that makes it very easy to use. It can also be run in scripts, and big datasets are handled reasonably well on small machines. In spite of its low overhead, statist can do quite a bunch of regression functions and tests. It uses gnuplot to create graphics. I just released a new version of statist. Among the released files, I included a Debian binary. Thanks to Justin Pryzby --who helped me in this list-- the package is lintian and linda clean. The .deb (356 KB), diff.gz (4 KB), and dsc.asc files can be downloaded from: http://wald.intevation.org/projects/statist/ or, directly from: http://wald.intevation.org/frs/?group_id=12release_id=10 I didn't upload the .orig.tar.gz file because it was the same statist-1.3.1.tar.gz. I hope a Debian Developer can check and sponsor the package... There was a ITP for statist before (#155073), but it was for a previous version (1.0.1), and was closed due to more than 365 days of inactivity. I wrote for Carleos Artime, author of the bug report, and he told me that I could use the new package to try again to have statist in Debian repository.

Hello! I would like to add a small statistics software to Debian official packages. Statist home page currently is on: http://www.usf.uos.de/~breiter/tools/statist/index.en.html Soon we will have a new release of statist (1.3.1), and I've edited a script that creates a binary .deb file.

Linda reports two errors but don't is as informative as lintian on how to fix them. E: statist-1.3.1-1; Package does not contain a copyright file. The package does not have a copyright file, which is a violation of a Policy. E: statist-1.3.1-1; The package contains no changelog. The package shown above has no changelog installed. It should *always* have a Debian changelog. In fact, the package has the changelog and the copyright files, but they might be in the wrong directory. I don't know very well how to use the Debian tools to build a package. I'm using only dpkg-deb, and I need help to replace the script with the adequate procedures. Currently, it's possible to create the package following the steps below: 1) Download the tarball from the cvs tree: http://intevation.de/cgi-bin/viewcvs-statist.cgi/statist/statist.tar.gz?tarball=1 (If you use wget, it might be necessary to rename the file, removing ?tarbal=1 from its name). 2) Edit the file Makefile.inc, changing the path from /usr/local to /usr 3) Compile the binary(cd src; make). 4) Compile the pdf files (cd ../doc; make). 5) Run the script create_deb_rpm.sh. There was an ITP bug report for statist-1.0.1 in the past (bug # 155073), but it was closed due to more than 365 days of inactivity. The package was uploaded to mentors.debian.net repository: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/statist/ Can anyone help me? I think I need a sponsor...

Maybe check other people's control files for examples. 2 stanzas: It worked: I put back an empty line that I had deleted from the control file! The package still need some adjustments (the pdf files were gziped), but I think that I'll be able to fix the problems. I think that I don't need the files below: dirs postinst.ex preinst.ex statist-default.ex compat postrm.exprerm.ex Can I delete them? Thanks, Jakson signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I'm using a good editor, but I deleted manually a line between the source and the package part of the control file. I'm using vim. The package still need some adjustments (the pdf files were gziped), but I think that I'll be able to fix the problems. You probably shouldn't bother ungzipping them; dh_installdocs may just rezip them anyway. You should, however, include doc-base files to point to documentation. Check my recent sextractor upload for an example (and I'm only using it as an example because I know Florian checked it!). I get the diff file of sextractor, and will use it as an example to write statist doc-base. Wouldn't it be possible ungzip the pdfs with a post-install script?

Documentation files are rarely used :) Seriously, though, xpdf is linked with zlib anyway, and transparently handles .pdf.gz, and gv handles .ps.gz. I'll let them gziped. Thanks, Justin, for your help! Lintian and Linda are reporting no errors or warnings anymore, and I'm using the proper Debian tools. Now, I'll try to find a sponsor for the package.
