Hi, * Thomas -Balu- Walter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [2003-08-27 18:07]: | 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?
you _must_ use sid/unstable to build your packages. If the package is
only for yourself, you can safely ignore the lintian warnings above.
| 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?
dpkg-buildpackage tries to sign the package with your name, which is
used in the debian/changelog file. You can change the name (and email)
in this file to the name which is used for your gpg key.
| 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?
fixing the makefile or simply removing the include files after the "make
install".
rm -fr $(CURDIR)/debian/camsource/usr/include
Bye
Thorsten
