Hello, I have almost managed to package my first library. :) But one problem remains:
"dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot" always builds a native package. I would like to
build a non-native one, but I don't know how.
What I do currently is take the upstream archive
("libnonsense-0.1.0.tar.bz2"), extract it, pur the debian/ directory inside
the extracted directory, and run dpkg-buildpackage in the latter. I end up
with:
libnonsense0_0.1.0-1_i386.deb
libnonsense_0.1.0-1.dsc <- some kind of description file, but who uses
it?
libnonsense_0.1.0-1_i386.changes <- what is that?
libnonsense_0.1.0-1.tar.gz <- why is this created at all and is it
different from "libnonsense-0.1.0.tar.bz2" other than by name and compression
format?
libnonsense-0.1.0.tar.bz2
libnonsense-dev_0.1.0-1_i386.deb
Thank you for your help!
Best,
Georgi
