Re: How-do-I make a non-native Debian package?
On 02/15/05 00:31, William Ballard wrote: I wrote my own app and it is debianized already, the way mplayer already is. But I mistakenly made it a native Debian package when it is really a tarball and/or a debian package. There will *never* be a diff between debian and upstream (I wrote it.) I can use make dist to produce a tarball. Should I make my Debian scripts operate on this outputted tarball? Even if you wrote the program its a good idea to keep the debian packaging scripts separate and don't make a native package. Basicaly you provide the orig tarball without the debian subdir and put it in the diff files. There are several ways of doing this. What I do in these situations is leave the debian subdir out of the make dist. Then write a script that makes the following things (aprox): - make dist - copy the tar.gz to a temp dir with the appropiate .orig Debian name. - unpack the tar.gz and copy the debian dir into it. - let dpkg-buildpackage (or similar) compile and generate the diff file, etc. In fact I add an extra step. I don't build the package directly. I first build a source package and then let pbuilder[1] build the final package in a chroot. And as a related question, I don't wish to become a Debian Developer, but this app is at least as good as some of the things in the archive. I suppose I need a sponsor. This is a simple GTK app. What is the protocol for asking, and would anybody be willing to upload it for me (once we take a good close look at it.) If you don't wish to maintain the package you should submit a RFP as a bugreport of the WNPP[2] pseudo package. If you wish to maintain it you should submit an ITP. Not all Debian Developers will sponsor your upload if you have no intention of becoming a DD. This app has already been on Freshmeat/Sourceforge for a year: http://freshmeat.net/projects/tupim (new release 1.5 will be on freshmeat tomorrow) http://projects.sf.net/pim-tb (1.5 version already up there) You should provide more info.

But has this person shown any interest in packaging glurp? Packages that are related don't need to be maintained by the same person. Glurp and mpd are different programs, have different source package and different bugs. Also glurp is not the only client for mpd. Perl modules are closely related with perl, apache modules with apache, etc, but they don't all have the same maintainer or maintainer team. If you wish to maintain glurp I think you should go ahead and maintain it. The Developer Reference[1] has a section on the PTS that you will find useful.
