No, I did not realise this. Correction, I vaguely remember some discussion about it months ago on debian-devel, but since at the time, I was not actively trying to make any packages, so I didn't pay close attention. However, debmake is still available in slink, and the Developer's Corner still has "Creating a Package using Debmake" listed directly above the "New-Maintainer's Debian Packaging Howto" (and lists the two as to be merged), it was hard for me to tell. > If you must use helper packages, debhelper is the way to go (I > prefer hand crafting my packages) Thanks, I'll look into it. > > manoj > -- > If you cannot in the long run tell everyone what you have been doing, > your doing was worthless.
