Hello, Is there a recommended way to create/maintain customized versions of packages in cases when there's no need to rebuild from source but advanced post-install configuration is necessary?
For example, I wan't to have an OpenLDAP that would install directly with mdb backend. To configure slapd for mdb I normally have to edit configs, clear out the DB directory (/var/lib/ldap) and restart the service. I tried to make a separate config package for this using config-package-dev, but the process seems to complicated in this case, so I'm making a custom slapd package. But the thing is, the only documented way seems to be to get the package source, edit and rebuild. But I'm fine with the binaries, I only need to edit postinst script and such. I tried extracting and repacking the binary package with dpkg-deb, and it works, except it doesn't feel like 'the right way'... correct me if I'm wrong. -- Regards, Igor Filatov -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
