Hi, I am currently working on integrating debian packaging system in cpack (part of CMake, see cmake.org). Basically cpack used to have a simple tarball system for creating package on *NIX. I simply had to encapsulate this tarball within an 'ar'ball, with a control and a md5sums file (*)
I am now wondering if I should also create some sort of debian 'source' package. As far as I understand there is no such thing, but instead your are distributing a copy of the original tarball of the package and a diff file. Is this correct ? If so I need to generate a diff file wich contains a minial 'debian/rules' file, correct ? thanks for comment, -- Mathieu (*) I have been searching quite a lot the web for creating binary debian package using 'ar'. Since CMake is a cross platform tool, I thought this would make sense to use the most common tool on *NIX: 'ar' instead of asking cmake user to install specific dpkg build tool. In an ideal world I should be able to cross compile using cmake under windows to generate debian package... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
