If you just want to put some files into special dirs, you can use dh_install (man dh_install) in debian/rules. So you can avoid writing long Makefiles or complicating debian/rules. The are other dh_install* (and dh_*) debhelper scripts, which can help you to install special filetypes (e.g. dh_installexamples, dh_installdocs, dh_installcatalogs, dh_installman, ... etc.). Have a look at their manpages to find out, how to use these scripts. Regards, Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
