Package: maint-guide
Version: 1.2.35
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
When learning packaging with maint-guide,
I found something confusing to me, and I raised my issue on
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2015/03/msg00002.html
, and following is the wishlist matter.
Look at Chapter 2. First Steps, footnote 21 of maint-guide(html):
There are several choices here: s for Single binary
package, i for arch-Independent package, m for Multiple
binary packages, l for Library package, k for Kernel
module package, n for kernel patch package, and b for
cdbs package. This document focuses on the use of the dh
command (from the package debhelper) to create a single
binary package, but also touches on how to use it for
arch-independent or multiple binary packages. The
package cdbs offers an alternative packaging script
infrastructure to the dh command and is outside the
scope of this document.
Newbies may be confused on what's the difference between s/i/m/l/k/b,
as seems no document explained it.
So I suggest that add further explanation here, such as
the choice s/i/m/l/k/b only affects the templates under
debian/ that dh_make would prepare for you, and please
don't
panic if you've chose the improper one.
please have a glance on the file list of package
dh-make, using
this command if you had it installed: dpkg -L dh-make.
Of course, this is my personal suggestion.
Thanks :-)
