Hi, I'd use plain dh_install, maybe even for the part dh_installexamples gets right (for symmetry), and skip dh_installexamples. -- Regards, Feri

In the structure of upstream's code, the examples split does totally make sense, they have also split their C and c++ bindings into two subdirectories. I am reluctant to ask upstream to change their structure because of a shortcoming in our tools. I will file a wishlist bug against debhelper to support a target directory for lines in foo.examples. > If you're only after workarounds, there are two options: > > Run dh_installexamples twice.

That's the "install manually" approach. I will probably do that in my package. Thanks for helping! Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.

Source with different examples directories
Hi, I have a package which source tarball containst two examples directories: src/examples src/c++/examples Since both directories contain a Makefile, I would like to install src/examples to /usr/share/doc/package/examples and src/c++/examples to /usr/share/doc/package/examples/c++. This seems to be beyond dh_installexamples' capabilities. What would you suggest? I could override dh_auto_installexamples (does that one exist?), using dh_installexamples to install src/examples to /usr/share/doc/package/examples and then manually copy src/c++/examples to /usr/share/doc/package/examples/c++ Is there a less ugly way?
