Hi I am new to creating packages for Debian [1] and am in the process of creating a debian package for my project.
----- The project builds a shared library, two executables and provides development API headers. At the moment, the output is all built into one deb file. I want to break this up so that it complies with debian packaging rules but I am not sure how. Do I need to add custom installation commands to the debian/rules file (in addition to what is provided by autotools)? If not, how do I get the shared library into the correct package? Do I need to become a Debian maintainer and upload the package to mentors.debian.net? ----- [1] Package : cainteoir-engine Version : 0.1 (I will update this to 0.2 once the packaging issues are resolved) Upstream Author : Reece H.
