Re: tool to create .deb for proprietary software?
Hi all, Depending on your own ambition there are several approaches. The easiest and simplest way is to use dpkg-deb -b which does right what you asked for. A slightly more advanced way would be to use tools like checkinstall(1) which require some Makefile which installs files to the file system. The cleanest and most formidable solution is to build a regular Debian package like we do for Debian archives proper. The New Maintainers' Guide [1] has instructions to get started. In your case you can follow the usual instructions, just skip the build process (dh_auto_configure, dh_auto_build), as your stuff is shipped in binary form already. More concrete help is probably available once you ask concrete questions. [1] http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/ I've had a look at the New Maintainer's Guide (chapter 5.18) and at the Debian Policy Manual (chapters 6 3.9.1), but couldn't find a list of helpful commands to be used in maintainer scripts to maximize the automation of the package installation. Does such a documentation actually exist ? For instance : * to activate an Apache2 site : use a2ensite * to add a boot service : use insserv * to add a user : use adduser and so on. Also, I suppose some specific helper scripts are available for e.g. Perl packages, Java packages, kernel-related packages ? Could you please tell me where to look ?

Bug#683184: RFS: suckless-tools/39-1 [ITA]
You create the empty suckless-tools_${version}.orig.tar.gz tarball in
the wrong directory.
Why do you redirect tar's stderr to /dev/null?
I recommend passing these options to tar, so that the user's
name/group/umask are not leaked:
--owner root --group root --mode a+rX
Have you seen #685611?

I cannot figure out how to proceed within the dh machinery. With debhelper in compat 9 mode, it will set the various variables by using dpkg-buildflags. Thus you can use the facilities of dpkg-buildflags to extend such variables. See man dpkg-buildflags. export DEB_CFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND=... This is the recommended way nowadays. But in truth, setting and exporting variables should just work since dh will not overwrite existing environment variables.
