I am new to packaging
Good news :-)
i did a doc package a long time ago. Engrid is a mesh generator which outputs grids both in openfoam and su2 format, with a nice interface built via qt4. It was funded by the ESA and is still under development; current version is 1.4. In my opinion it is an important package because gmsh, in debian, is a bit limited and a mesh generator is a key software in the CFD toolchain. So far I have successfully compiled it in my debian 8 with few lintian warnings I cannot get rid of: W: engrid-doc: empty-binary-package W: engrid-blenderscripts: empty-binary-package W: engrid: extra-license-file usr/share/doc/engrid/gpl.txt.gz W: engrid: extra-license-file usr/share/doc/engrid/licence.txt
I have tried to manually delete those /usr/share/doc/ files but they keep regenerating...Any help would be apprecated.
What you can do is build the software, then in d/rules remove all the files that you do not need. Finally, "install" all the remaining software in the appropriate binary packages. Where is the packaged software ? Cheers, Filippo -- Filippo Rusconi, PhD - public crypto key C78F687C @ pgp.mit.edu Researcher at CNRS and Debian Developer
