Hello,
I'm learning making debian packages.
I choosed to learn on a very simple software: minimalist.
Installing it from source is just about copying a single file
(minimalist.pl) into /usr/bin and then copying its conf file
into /etc/minimalist.conf
I get the error message you can see at the bottom of this post.
I dont understand it. Would you help me?
Especially where to tell the package builder not to use
'debian/minimalist/DEBIAN/control' but 'debian/control' ?
In my rules file, I have:
=========================
#!/usr/bin/make -f
export DH_VERBOSE=1
configure:
build:
clean:
install:
dh_testdir
cp minimalist.pl $(CURDIR)/debian/minimalist
binary-indep:
binary-arch:
dh_builddeb
binary: binary-indep binary-arch
.PHONY: build clean binary-indep binary-arch binary install
The error output of the command 'dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot'
(wich is run at the top source directory):
===============================================================
[...]
debian/rules build
debian/rules build
fakeroot debian/rules binary

You still need to make a control file. Something like this:
Source: minimalist
Section: net
Priority: extra
Standards-Version: 3.6.1
Maintainer: Your name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Build-Depends: debhelper
Package: minimalist
Architecture: any
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}
Recommends: pdns-doc
Description: short description
large description

Success with creating debian packages.
