My suggestion: If CDBS supports your package's build system, use it. http://build-common.alioth.debian.org/cdbs-doc.html . It calls all the dh_* commands for you and makes everything so much simpler (I've only debianised one package: a library built with autotools). If you want to see my debian/rules, it's at http://code.google.com/p/libfake437/source/browse/debian/trunk/libfake437-0.4/debian/rules . -- Jack -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
