While waiting to become a debian maintainer, I am trying to "polish" my package(s), and I have a few questions:
1) I am the author of program I am packaging. To save myself some work, I have packaged it as a native debian package. Is this allowed? (There was some discussion about it a long time ago, and it seemed possible to do so) 2) Since debian/changelog and CHANGES are the same (obviously), I could symlink one file to another. Which way it is better? CHANGES -> debian/changelog or debian/changelog -> CHANGES ? Or should I keep debian/changelog just a description of changes made to package (such as recompiling against newer glibc), and CHANGES for everything else? 3) I am using debhelper. When it is updated to FHS, will it automatically move document and manpages to /usr/share? (I think so... just asking to be sure) The package I am talking about can be found at: http://melkor.dnp.fmph.uniba.sk/~garabik/efingerd.html (I have more packages prepared, but this one is "well tested"(tm) ) thanks, -- ----------------------------------------------------------- | Radovan Garabik http://melkor.dnp.fmph.uniba.sk/~garabik/ | | __..--^^^--..__ garabik @ fmph.uniba.sk | ----------------------------------------------------------- Antivirus alert: file .signature infected by signature virus.
