Well, it would be nice if somebody would create such things. > if yes I need to know a couple of things: > 1) where to get the exact fgfs/simgear/osg code for this realease (I mean I > don't think I can get it througt csv). You "should" be able to get it via CVS ... but I stopped using CVS a long time ago. I recommend using the git repository at http://gitorious.org/fg/ including e.g. the FG "source" at http://gitorious.org/fg/flightgear Alas gitorious seems to be somewhat confused about tags; if you click on the v2.0.0-rc4 link in the "activites" section of today's summary page: http://gitorious.org/fg/flightgear then it takes you to http://gitorious.org/fg/flightgear/commit/v2.0.0-rc4 which is 404 not found. Things work better if you happen to know that the release candidates live on the _master_ branch. On the aforementioned summary page, click on one of the various places that mention "master" ... which will take you to http://gitorious.org/fg/flightgear/commits/master And then look at the far far bottom of that page. Near bottom right-hand corner there is a box listing _tags_. There you will discover that the v2.0.0-rc4 tag is in fact identical to the http://gitorious.org/fg/flightgear/commit/729e2875 object. =========================== I would assume that to an excellent approximation, every file in that repository (except for the .git directory if any) should be included in the deb-source package. A few extra files here and there never killed anybody. Another thing that you would need is a usable DEBIAN/control file. There actually exists a package/debian/control file in the git repo, but it has apparently not been touched since it was created in mid-2004. I suspect it has never been used. Indeed I suspect most people on this list have forgotten that it ever existed. It seems to me that it would be a Good Thing to have the control file be part of the project, and to revise it as needed. It would be easier to use (e.g. via pkg-deb -b ...) if we uppercasified the directory -> DEBIAN/control and made a few other cosmetic changes. dpkg-scanpackages also comes in handy in this context. Here is a control file that I have found useful as a metapackage to make sure I have the needed development environment. I doubt it is exactly correct, but it is way better than nothing, and may serve as a useful building block.
