I know, debuild can be tricky at first...
tell me about it, anyhow i also realized this is somehow OT for the
puredyne book..
lets say, i have a .deb but it has a dependency on something that
is not in
the repos, i could get that second .deb, what will be the correct
way to
generate the package?
not sure i understand the question. if you have thing1.deb which
depends on thing2.deb, then you can just install them both...? "dpkg
-i thing2.deb thing1.deb"
a concrete example is precisely the first thing i attemped to repack
as .deb. the software is called toonloop and theres a .deb of it
already but it requires or better, depends on pygame, the version of
pygame in question is neither on the karmic repos since it will be up
for the next ubuntu release. (lucid or lucy, can't remember)
I only wanted to have them both in my PPA so to be able to include
them already installed on y custom liveCD...
for all these examples I think the ubuntu packaging guide covers it:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete
also there's the "Debian new maintainers guide" which covers similar
content, but the ubuntu one is more relevant I think.
great will check those, many thanks,
