Hello! I would like to add a small statistics software to Debian official packages. Statist home page currently is on:
http://www.usf.uos.de/~breiter/tools/statist/index.en.html Soon we will have a new release of statist (1.3.1), and I've edited a script that creates a binary .deb file. (I got the original script from Kurumin, a Kannopix/Debian based distro). I checked the package with lintian and fixed all warnings and errors reported. Linda reports two errors but don't is as informative as lintian on how to fix them. E: statist-1.3.1-1; Package does not contain a copyright file. The package does not have a copyright file, which is a violation of a Policy. E: statist-1.3.1-1; The package contains no changelog. The package shown above has no changelog installed. It should *always* have a Debian changelog. In fact, the package has the changelog and the copyright files, but they might be in the wrong directory. I don't know very well how to use the Debian tools to build a package. I'm using only dpkg-deb, and I need help to replace the script with the adequate procedures. Currently, it's possible to create the package following the steps below: 1) Download the tarball from the cvs tree: http://intevation.de/cgi-bin/viewcvs-statist.cgi/statist/statist.tar.gz?tarball=1 (If you use wget, it might be necessary to rename the file, removing "?tarbal=1" from its name). 2) Edit the file Makefile.inc, changing the path from "/usr/local" to "/usr" 3) Compile the binary(cd src; make). 4) Compile the pdf files (cd ../doc; make). 5) Run the script "create_deb_rpm.sh". There was an ITP bug report for statist-1.0.1 in the past (bug # 155073), but it was closed due to more than 365 days of inactivity. The package was uploaded to mentors.debian.net repository: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/statist/ Can anyone help me? I think I need a sponsor... Best regards, Jakson
