[ST-devel] revision 1 of rpms&debs

[Wesley W. T. <we...@te...>]

Alright!

I've finished my first attempt to get libst fully packaged as an rpm and
deb. This source tree is based off of st-1.2.tar.gz.

The tarball is at: http://pez.ca/terpstra/libst-1.2.1.tar.gz
It is about 230k so I have not attached it.

To build debs: (as any user)
tar xvzf libst-1.2.1.tar.gz
cd libst-1.2.1
debuild

-- you will then find .deb packages in the parent directory

To build rpms: (as root unless you've already setup rpm)
rpm -ta libst-1.2.1.tar.gz

-- rpms will then be in /usr/src/redhat/ (or elsewhere if you have it
configured for non-root building)

What remains to be done:

I am fairly certain that I have messed it up for other architectures than
i686/linux/debian. 

I made several changes to the source which may be bad and need review. 
They were mostly aimed at getting autoconf sufficiently happy with
cross-compiling and automatic building.

The sox package still has a /usr/lib/libst.a which conflicts with
libst-dev_1.2.1-1_i386.deb.

I don't think I have the upstream maintainer correct. Who is the official
upstream maintainer?

Well, that's all!
