Hi Andreas, Hi Charles, You mean svn commit -m "some text" ? I completely forgot about this. I had to explore svn since I have not worked with svn before. I become more and more confident with the build system but I still encounter some minor problems.
Do I need svn commit each time I try package building via svn-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us ? Or can I use option --svn-ignore? Is it using the local files or the files on the svn server. --- I have successfully resolved some svn conflicts, but currently I am stuck. I would like to create a directory packages/strap/trunk/debian/bin/ but svn does not let me do this. $ svn mkdir debian/bin $ svn commit -m "try mkdir debian/bin" Adding trunk/debian/bin svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: File already exists: filesystem '/svn/debian-med/db', transaction '11117-1', path '/trunk/packages/strap/trunk/debian/bin' I also did $ svn resolved debian/bin and $ svn update without success What do you suggest? As a work around I have a directory debian/bin2 --- reportbugs could not connect to the bug database even though I have direct internet connection without http proxy. Then reportbugs suddenly terminated and all my edits were lost. --- The packages strap and strap-base are almost finished. I changed strap such that it works for now with the software already packaged for Debian. Therefore I can finish my other debian packages later. I am pleased, that there are already that many alignment tools available (-:. --- Strap needs two small files from texlive-latex-extra. The large package texlive-latex-extra is 500MB in size. Therefore I decided not to add texlive-latex-extra to the "Depends:" because I do not want to waste that much disk space just for two small files (texshade.sty and vmargin.sty). Instead Strap checks whether texlive-latex-extra is installed and if not it loads the two files on demand from the Strap server. Is this OK? --- --- The automatically generated strap-base/trunk/debian/postrm lacks the line #!/bin/sh. Is this a bug in dh_installmenu? Removing of strap-base dpkg -r strap-base fails because /var/lib/dpkg/info/strap-base.postrm does not start with #!/bin/sh. After fixing /var/lib/dpkg/info/strap-base.postrm with a text editor, dpkg -r strap-base works. Best regards Christoph -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
