Hi there, as many other questions on this list, mine are related to my first try to create a package. I've chosen camsource - a modularized and multithreaded webcam-streaming software.
As usual I've used the New Maintainers' Guide to get started and nearly all went well. Besides two warnings lintian gives me: W: camsource source: newer-standards-version 3.5.10 -> which should be fixed by a new lintian version; I've used the one from testing W: camsource: postinst-should-not-set-usr-doc-link -> should be fixed with a new debhelper (if built on unstable e.g.) So I can ignore those warnings, correct? Another problem I experienced is that I have to start dpkg-buildpackage using [EMAIL PROTECTED], because it tries to find a key related to 'Thomas -Balu- Walter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>', but gpg stored my key as 'Thomas Walter (Balu) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'. Is it a bug or a feature that dpkg-buildpackage doesn't only use the email address to make gpg search for keys? Checking the contents of the .deb lists some include-files which should not be there IMHO. Am I supposed to put them in a camsource-dev package as they are only needed if one wants to develop new modules? What would be the best way to handle those? While speaking of modules... All included modules are libraries - do I have to put them into separate packages too or can I simply leave them where they are? You can find it at http://www.b-a-l-u.de/debian/camsource/ Balu PS: Don't expect me to upgrade the version yet - this is all alpha packaging... :)
