I think I managed to get the debian package to build just fine but it's probably better if you can comment on it. I've uploaded everything to: http://daloradius.sourceforge.net/packages/debpkg/ It contains the folder I'm using to build the package. The way I do it is cd to daloradius-0.9.3 and run dpkg-buildpackage As for you comment about the source package there is actually nothing special about it. Like I mentioned before it is a web application software that is made up of .php and .js files in a directory, that's all. The exact package files (source or original) can be found in the archive: http://daloradius.sourceforge.net/packages/debpkg/daloradius_0.9.3.tar.gz inside the usr/share/daloradius directory. Or fetched from: http://dfn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/daloradius/daloradius-0.9-3.tar.gz Regards, Liran.

Building a package for a web application
Dear Mentors and Debian users, While attempting to run dpkg-buildpackage to create a .deb package of the current directory where I'm at I'm receiving the error message: dpkg-genchanges: failure: cannot read files list file: No such file or directory my debian/ directory reads the following files: -rw-r--r-- 1 liran liran 126 2007-09-16 10:52 changelog -rw-r--r-- 1 liran liran 526 2007-09-17 01:57 control -rw-r--r-- 1 liran liran 461 2007-08-22 02:39 copyright -rw-r--r-- 1 liran liran 17 2007-09-16 10:58 dirs -rwxr-xr-x 1 liran liran 1432 2007-09-16 09:49 postinst -rwxr-xr-x 1 liran liran 535 2007-09-16 03:41 postrm -rwxr-xr-x 1 liran liran 438 2007-09-16 05:11 preinst -rw-r--r-- 1 liran liran 2410 2007-09-16 09:50 README -rwxr-xr-x 1 liran liran 23 2007-09-16 20:56 rules -rw-r--r-- 1 liran liran 336 2007-09-16 09:52 watch where as the rules file is actually empty (filled with #) Regards, Liran.

It must be a Makefile, and contain the instructions to _build_ the .deb when called with the appropriate arguments. I guess you need to read again http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ and basically everything listed in http://www.debian.org/devel/ . Best regards, Thibaut.
Re: Building a package for a web application
I see. Well, I did create debian/ myself at first and then use dh_make to consult with some missing files I might have. I should note that what I'm packaging is a web application software and so it has no need for compilation of any sort but rather just copy the files tree and run the scripts. Anyway, so I ran dh_make -e email -s -n and was provided with the debian/ example directory from which I copied the rules file and commented 2 parts: # Add here commands to compile the package # $(MAKE) and # Add here commands to install the package into debian/daloradius. # $(MAKE) DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/daloradius install As there is no need for any compilation to be done like I've stated before. Then I ran dpkg-buildpackage -b again, the output is somewhat long but results in: dpkg-deb: building package `daloradius' in `../daloradius_0.9.3_i386.deb'. dpkg-genchanges -b dpkg-genchanges: binary-only upload - not including any source code signfile daloradius_0.9.3_i386.changes gpg: skipped liran [EMAIL PROTECTED]: secret key not available gpg: [stdin]: clearsign failed: secret key not available dpkg-buildpackage: binary only upload (no source included) (WARNING: Failed to sign .changes file) I'm indeed missing the signature file but I will add this later.

Take a look at the debian/rules file for some existing web application; there are many in Debian these days. See if you can find one very similar to the one you want to package.
