debian/control's Build-Depends could be narrowed down to: debhelper (>= 4.0.0), autotools-dev, libboost-dev, libboost-regex-dev, libgtkmm-2.4-dev, libsigc++-2.0-dev I would add also: - file an ITP bug as described at http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/ - close the ITP from debian/changelog, that is put the correct bug number in * Initial release Closes: #nnnn (nnnn is the bug number of your ITP) - debian/control Section: text - Go further by running lintian -i and linda -i over your .deb to spot more issues to fix ;-) - test the final package building it inside a pbuilder environment. -- pub 4096R/0E4BD0AB 2003-03-18 <people.fccf.net/danchev/key pgp.mit.edu> fingerprint 1AE7 7C66 0A26 5BFF DF22 5D55 1C57 0C89 0E4B D0AB -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
