Dear All: Thank you very much for your helpful comments.
I started from scratch today and was able to make a package that I tested on my squeeze system and seems to work. I have not yet progressed to using pbuilder for sid. If I need to do this, please let me know. (I uploaded the relevant version to the subversion repository as well - thank you so much.) I have attached the package (UPDATE: it is quite large, I will send in a separate email once I am home). Additionally, I have figured out how to build the package. Yours comments were quite helpful, but this page: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMed also proved quite useful. I made a little response to my question on ubuntuforums from yesterday re WAR packages here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9901621#post9901621 Additionally, I now understand the correct steps to package to be: sudo aptitude install openjdk-6-jdk ant debhelper quilt svn-buildpackage devscripts -y alias svn-b='svn-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot --svn-ignore' svn checkout svn://cvs.alioth.debian.org/svn/debian-med/trunk/packages/openmrs/trunk cd trunk ./debian/rules get-orig-source echo "origDir=.." >> .svn/deb-layout svn-b These work on both Debian squeeze and Ubuntu 10.04. In any case, please let me know what further steps are necessary to get the deb in the debian-med repository, and perhaps into the Ubuntu PPA. All your help and advice is much appreciated. Thank you again Misha p.s. I finally had time to carefully read the Debian New Package Maintainers Guide http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ You are correct. It is very useful although, I must say, somewhat long :( p.p.s. If you could please reply all, much appreciated.
