Hello. Have shifted my main workstation from RedHat 9 to Debian Sid. When I would make a new rpm file of the current cvs tree, I could just run the commands: ./autogen.sh make dist rpm -ta gramps-{VERSION}.tar.gz What can I do with the tar.gz file in Sid to make a .deb package without making the debian/control (rules,,,) files ? -- -Frode For fast-acting relief, try slowing down. |

I might be wrong, but I don't think you can produce deb package without having to worry about debian/ and files under it. That being said, it's not that hard. You can take a look at the deb of 0.98.0. On the other hand, why would you want to make a deb while you can just do $ ./autogen.sh $ make clean $ make # make install and have the whole thing ready under /usr/local ?

Just so I know witch programs I have installed at any given moment, in one centralised tool. If it has been installed as a deb, I can use dpkg to get a summary of the systems installed packages. (Updates, removes a.s.f.) It's not hard to remember 1 or 2 programs like this, but if I get 10+ I tend to forget allot of them.... -- -Frode You can't take damsel here now. |
