RE: Need help packaging
I don't want the package uploaded. It is for a Tivoli deployment. I converted the RPMs to DEBs, but I want to add custom configs,etc... I know this mailing-list is oriented towards debian development, but I though people here are informed regarding this question. Thanks for your answer. Binary packages are not considered to be particularly useful unless they're derived from a source package. You won't be able to get a binary only package uploaded. But, if that's what you want, then you can use dpkg -b. Justin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Need help packaging
Hello, Can someone spend a few minutes explain how to create a debian package from binary files ? I have read the documentation on debian.org and many howto on the web, it is too advanced for what I am trying to achieve, and a little help would be appreciated. I had an rpm, converted to .deb using alien. Extracted files off the package using dpkg --contents, since I want to add some more files to the package. ( actually merge things together and add default configuration that suits us ) I extracted the control files as well... And I have this control md5sums postinst postrm prerm shlibs From here I am not sure what I should do... Should I put everything together, add my files and then do a dpkg --build off the root of the packaging directory ? Any help would be appreciated.

Please send the URL to your source package's .dsc file so I can have a look at it. I'm interested in this as well (just curious - does it support IVTV as an input device?), but I'm not currently in a position to spend a lot of time to help with the packaging. I am a DD, so would be able to sponsor uploads. It should be possible to use tvtime as frontend ... Lg Roman P.S. Can we keep this on the list? Would make it easier to keep track :)

Re: RFS: Need help packaging MMS (My Media System) and get it into Debian
few notes on what I spot since first thing of all was to check copyright file -- there seems to be a copyright holder missing for the software itself. there is no sense to keep config.log in .diff -- employ proper clean procedure in debian/rules (may be the other .log files as well can be cleaned...?) there are sources for other libraries included (eg tinyxml, etc) -- those better appear as independent packages (file ITP bugs for them first), if they are not already (like there are unofficial packages for libavcodec). if they are old and abandoned (thus will not be used elsewhere) -- include copyright/licensing information into copyright file for mms. if they are packaged (eg commoncpp2, libavcodec) -- better use provided by Debian libraries instead of rebuilding and relying on upstream ones, unless they were tuned in some way, or there are compatibility issues -- I just worry about possible overlap with names of the shared libraries you might get at the end. So there are lots of work to make it clean in this sense... I hope this blurb is of some value Good luck guys and keep on good work! -- .-. =-- /v\ = Keep in touch// \\ (yoh@|www.)onerussian.com Yaroslav Halchenko /( )\ ICQ#: 60653192 Linux User^^-^^[17] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
