Hello, I'm on my first package. The upstream people provide just a perl script which should go to /usr/bin. I'm reading the instructions of the maintainer's guide (/usr/share/doc/maint-guide/) and all the steps and examples are desgned for creatinga binary package from a source tarball.
I've tried to configure this file myself, but when i issue the command 'dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot' i always get the same error: dpkg-genchanges: failure: cannot read files list file: No such file or directory What am i doing wrong? I guess i have a problem in my rules file. just in case i post it here too: --------------------------------------./debian/rules #!/usr/bin/make -f # Sample debian/rules that uses debhelper. # GNU copyright 1997 to 1999 by Joey Hess. # Uncomment this to turn on verbose mode. #export DH_VERBOSE=1 # This is the debhelper compatability version to use. export DH_COMPAT=1 build: clean: install: dh_testdir dh_testroot # Add here commands to install the package into debian/tmp. mkdir -p `pwd`/debian/tmp/usr/bin /bin/cp `pwd`/esms `pwd`/debian/tmp/usr/bin/ # Build architecture-independent files here. binary-indep: build install # We have nothing to do by default. # Build architecture-dependent files here. binary-arch: build install binary: binary-indep binary-arch .PHONY: build clean binary-indep binary-arch binary install --------------------------------------------------EOF thanks-- Robert Millan Debian GNU user zeratul2 wanadoo es http://getyouriso.org/
