Bug#687564: RFS: irstlm/5.80.01-1 -- [ITP] IRST Language Modeling Toolkit
The package should be in good shape and should only need some minor updates. More recent upstream version is also available. If you are interested in sponsoring this package, I can do the work during the next few days. If you want to co-maintain the package, feel free to do the work yourself, but please let me know before doing it. Bests, Giulio.

I've post the build log at http://paste.debian.net/73847/ Please see if you can spot anything unusual, and tell me if you need anything else. You're building multiple binary packages from the same source package. This means that the Debian package build infrastructure has no inherent way of determining which files go into which package. You have to tell it explicitly. When there are multiple binary packages built from the same source package, dh_auto_install runs upstream's make install so as to put all the files in debian/tmp. This is outside of the package staging areas for each of the packages, which are named debian/package. It's up to you to move the files into the appropriate package staging area after dh_auto_install runs. The normal way to do this is to use the facilities provided by dh_install (which will be run automatically by dh binary). There are various ways to do this (see the man page), but here's the one I recommend: create files for each package, named debian/package.install, and in each one, list the files from debian/tmp that belong in that package. Here's an example from one of my source packages, shibboleth-sp2, which splits the upstream installation into multiple binary packages: == libapache2-mod-shib2.install == usr/bin usr/sbin etc/shibboleth usr/lib/*/shibboleth usr/share/shibboleth == libshibsp-dev.install == usr/include/* usr/lib/*/lib*.so == libshibsp-doc.install == doc/api/* usr/share/doc/libshibsp-doc == libshibsp6.install == usr/lib/*/lib*.so.* == shibboleth-sp2-schemas.install == usr/share/xml/shibboleth As you can see, you can use wildcards, and you can name whole directories or individual files. If you want the files in debian/tmp to be moved into the package in exactly the same relative paths as they occupy in debian/tmp, you can just name them, as in most of the examples above. If you want to move them to a different location, see libshibsp-doc.install, which specifies a destination directory. Be aware of one gotcha: the destination column in *.install files specifies the destination *directory*, not file name. You cannot use dh_install to rename files; you will end up with the file installed with its current name in a directory named after the thing you were trying to rename it to, which is obviously broken. If you want to rename things, you'll need to do that separately, usually with an override and some code that runs before dh_install. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
