How to package my development utility?
Dear Mentors, I have written a small development utility: https://bitbucket.org/StarFire/lrc/overview It consists of 1) a binary, called 'lrc', which packs a list of files into one file 2) a small library, called liblrc, which can be used in the application to unpack these files and access their data If you want to compile an application that uses liblrc, you also need a few small header files. Now, how do I package this utility for Debian? I think I have to split it up, but how? One package for the binary and one for the library? Where do I put the header files? Are there any packages that I can use as an example (One application, more packages)? TIA and best regards Andreas -- ("`-''-/").___..--''"`-._ `o_ o ) `-.

debconf questions
Dear Mentors, I have two questions concerning debconf: 1) I have created a .config and a .templates file according to the debconf user's guide by Joey Hess. If I execute the .config file, the expected screen (it's a note) is shown, everything is OK. I have also inserted dh_installdebconf in the rules file. Now I hoped the Debian Magic would do all the tricks to show my screen while installing, but nothing happened. So, do I need to call the .config file "by hand"? And if yes: where? In the postinst? Or somewhere else? 2) lintian complains about not having sourced the debconf library in postinst. I have (following the user's guide) done this in the .config file, before calling the actual debconf functions. Which one is considered better?

Changing of behavior: How to tell the user?
Dear Mentors, I'm the maintainer of the CVSNT package. This is a better replacement for CVS and just like CVS it can work as server or client. One of the enhancements (on the server side) was replacing the old directory based file locks with a so-called lock server, which handled all the locking on a per file basis. What I did until now was to start this cvslockd daemon in an init script regardless whether the user used CVSNT as client or server. In the next few weeks should now come out a new version upstream and I updated my package, fixed the bugs and I also want to prevent that cvslockd is started every time. So I created a configuration file /etc/defaults/cvsnt where an environment variable defines whether or not the daemon gets started. I figured that there are probably more client users than server users and set the default to no longer start cvslockd. My questions: 1) Is this change of behavior desirable/do-able? 2) Is /etc/default/cvsnt the right place to turn on/off the daemon at all? 3) How shall I inform the server users that they know that they have to configure the file to get the lock daemon started again?

Bug #417137: cvsnt does not compile with GCC4.3
Dear Mentors, Martin Michlmayr filed a bug against cvsnt, because it does not compile with GCC4.3. He provided a patch. I have forwarded the patch to upstream, but the upstream maintainer hesitates to commit it into the official code, because it is for a snapshot version of GCC4.3 and because it may break stuff on other architectures (see thread in -dev newsgroup: news://news.cvsnt.org:119/[EMAIL PROTECTED]) How can I: * Compile (with current standard gcc) for other architectures that are supported by Debian, so I can make sure that it works on them * Compile with gcc4.3 for other architectures that are supported by Debian, so I can fix the actual bug ?

Which script to install file in /etc/default
Hello Mentors, I'm the maintainer of the CVSNT package, an enhanced version of cvs. Just like cvs the cvsnt binary acts as client and server at the same time. UNLIKE cvs, cvsnt needs the cvs lock daemon to work as server. At the moment, this lock server is started with an init.d script regardless if the user installs cvsnt as server or not. My idea is to create a file /etc/default/cvsnt which contains a variable that controls whether or not the lock server is stared. Is there any dh_* script that installs a given file or do I need to make it in some other way? TIA and best regards Andreas -- ("`-''-/").___..--''"`-._ `o_ o ) `-.
