How does this entry be generated by the postinst script? Basically you should not touch configuration files provided by other packages. Somehow with dpkg-reconfigure and debconf and dpkg-reconfigure, but how? Not that I'm a xfont expert, but you might want to look at ttf-bitstream-vera and ttf-dejavu source packages; afaics they call fc-cache and defoma from their maintainer scripts; that would suffice imho. Thanks for your answer. It seems to me that deforma can not handle the pcf font format for bitmaps. I only see support for type1 and ttf. bummer! -- |Michael Renner E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |D-81541 Munich GermanyICQ: #112280325 | |Germany Don't drink as root!

building for 'any' architecture?
Moin, I made a small package with some X fonts. First I extracted the fonts into a directory, startet 'dh_make' and after some modifications in postinst etc I run 'dpkg-buildpackage -d'. As far as I see is the deb-package ok. But it is a i386 package, I expected a package for any architecture like xfonts-base. I checked for the sting 'i386' in debian/, but I found nothing. So: where can I control this? Thanks -- |Michael Renner E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |D-81541 Munich GermanyICQ: #112280325 | |Germany Don't drink as root!

You might want to give Architecture: all a try. This should give you a *_all.deb. Moin, thanks for your answer. I already wrote this to the control file: Section: x11 Architecture: any Depends: xfonts-utils Suggests: xfs | xserver but the resulting file is named xfonts-sgi_1.0.0-1_i386.deb and the architecture, mentioned in the package control file is i386: Section: x11 Priority: extra Architecture: i386 Depends: xfonts-utils Suggests: xfs | xserver strange!

a new window manager
Moin, I am not new to debian and I made some packages before, but this time I plan to bring them into an official debian release. So they need a better quality as they had before. At the moment I'm building a deb package for a window manager. Everything is fine, but there is no entry in KDMs 'session type' menu. I found the 'update-alternatives' command and call update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-session-manager \ x-session-manager /usr/bin/5Dwm 50 in the postinst. I found such an entry in the ksmserver- as well as in the icewm package. While it work for these wm's, something is wrong with my entry. Can anybody assist me?
