... if you use dh_gencontrol(1), or invoke dpkg-gencontrol manually. Of course a package can also be created along mkdir tmp cp whatnot/ tmp/ mkdir tmp/DEBIAN cat >tmp/DEBIAN/control type whatever you like Ctrl-D dpkg-deb -b tmp (you can even use tar and ar instead of dpkg-deb) Regards, Frank -- Frank K�ster Inst. f.
