Package: checkinstall
Version: 1.6.0-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Hello:
I download and build the checkinstall-1.6.0-1 source package for play with it
in a Sarge environment. In Sarge I used to build my packages with
checkinstall-1.5.3-3, and for make a "good" package and have a
/usr/share/doc/pkgname doc directory, I used to change the name of the build
directory from /pkgname-x.y.z to /pkgname. With this change, the doc directory
(with the proper config in /etc/checkinstallrc, and the proper version number
in the "package values" of checkinstall) was always /usr/share/doc/pkgname
:-D.
With the "new" version, checkinstall always make the doc dir as
/usr/share/doc/pkgname-x.y.z, with the reported change and without it (see
this two examples):

Should I create a default set of package docs? [y]:

For change this behaviour, and make "good" Debian packages, now I must to
change the /usr/bin/checkinstall script. So this is the patch. It may be no
good for make rpm or Slackware packages (I don't know) but it works well for
made my Debian packages :-D:
Edit /usr/bin/checkinstall, lines 1468-1472 (the comented ones are the
original ones, and the not comented ones are my changes):
echo "Copying documentation directory..."
# mkdir -p "${BUILD_DIR}/${DOC_DIR}/${PKG_BASENAME}"
mkdir -p "${BUILD_DIR}/${DOC_DIR}/${NAME}"
(cd $DIRECTORIO_FUENTE/doc-pak;$TAR -cpf - .) |
# (cd ${BUILD_DIR}/${DOC_DIR}/${PKG_BASENAME};$TAR -f - -xvp)
(cd ${BUILD_DIR}/${DOC_DIR}/${NAME};$TAR -f - -xvp)
# chown -R root.root "${BUILD_DIR}/${DOC_DIR}/${PKG_BASENAME}"
chown -R root.root "${BUILD_DIR}/${DOC_DIR}/${NAME}"
Now, the build procese with checkinstall is good :-D:
