The easiest way is to find an example. Egotistically, let me point you at info2man for a drop-dead-simple perl package that installs both a program and some modules. The reason that introductory documentation tends not to talk much about architecture-independent packages is that they're like architecture-dependent packages without most of the work. You generally just leave out most of the build target in debian/rules and set "Architecture: all" in debian/control. The binary-indep target in debian/rules can then just copy everything into the right place under debian/$package. Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
