Package: debian-policy Version: 3.7.2.2 Currently, we have:
4.9 Main building script: debian/rules This file must be an executable makefile, and contains the package-specific recipes for compiling the package and building binary package(s) from the source. It must start with the line #!/usr/bin/make -f, so that it can be invoked by saying its name rather than invoking make explicitly. There is no technical reason why this has to be a makefile. I propose: 4.9 Main building script: debian/rules This file is normally an executable makefile, and contains the package-specific recipes for compiling the package and building binary package(s) from the source. debian/rules must be an executable script with an appropriate #! line (so, if it is a makefile it must start with the line #!/usr/bin/make -f) so that it can be invoked by saying its name. It should use a widely-used language, and should restrict itself to features portable even to older versions of its interpreter.
