Anyone with deb tools installed may now create deb packages by issuing: make deb-dist
This creates dist from fvwm sources (cvs) and then creates deb package from this tarball. If you already have the tarball (downloaded the official tar.gz release or produced it using "make dist"), then it is possible to skip the dist stage and issue: make deb-this Some arguments like cparams, mparams, release=1, version=2.5.10 may be passed to make (see Makefile.am for examples). It makes sense to specify a non current version=x.y.z for "deb-this" only, not for "deb-dist". This all is fully analogous to "make rpm-dist" and "make rpm-this". Additionally it is possible to build directly in sources/cvs using: make deb-inplace with the same optional parameters. This is a bit faster, but not as advisable as "make deb-dist". To test all this, I executed the following two make-s concurently on the same cvs tree on my RedHat system: wget ftp://ftp.fvwm.org/pub/fvwm/version-2/fvwm-2.3.22.tar.gz make deb-this version=2.3.22 release=2 fullname="Mikhael Goikhman" make deb-dist And believe me or not but proper deb packages for both 2.3.22 and 2.5.8 were created. I will take care of releasing deb packages together with rpm packages on new releases. Thanks to Andrei Mitrofanow who is ready to build the deb packages. (On Debian system of course.)
