Most unix editors always put a newline at the end of a file; what editor are you using?

You probably shouldn't bother ungzipping them; dh_installdocs may just rezip them anyway. You should, however, include doc-base files to point to documentation. Check my recent sextractor upload for an example (and I'm only using it as an example because I know Florian checked it!). > I think that I don't need the files below: > > dirs This specifies a list of directories to be created by dh_makedirs; a convenience thing, so you don't have to mkdir -p a whole bunch of stuff. If you don't need it, get rid of it, as well as the debian/rules call to dh_installdirs. > postinst.ex preinst.ex postrm.ex prerm.ex Simple packages don't need these.

I just looked it up earlier today. Read about DH_COMPAT in debhelper(7); in the past, one would export DH_COMPAT=4 in debian/rules and be done with it; the problem is that then testing a debhelper command would do a different thing (assuming DH_COMPAT=1) if you ran the command manually. With a file, it does the same thing and is the recommended way to do it (though, I kind of wish that it didn't take its own file ..). -- Clear skies, Justin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
