Hi, I'm new to debian mentors. A while ago I read a blog article about how to use only one branch for debian and ubuntu packages with different dependencies. http://raphaelhertzog.com/2010/09/27/different-dependencies-between-debian-and-ubuntu-but-common-source-package/ I tried to implement it, but I'm struggling.
Essentially, I'm not familiar with makefile syntax, and searching makefile tutorials and asking in IRC chats helped, but couldn't fully solve the problems I faced. So, I hope the experts here can help find a good solution. Here is what I have so far: http://flightpred.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/flightpred/trunk/debian/rules?revision=297 But it basically boils down to the following behavior, which I don't understand: $ cat makefile all: @echo $(shell [ -e /etc/dpkg/origins/default ]; printf $$?) @echo $(shell [ -e /etc/dpkg/origins/dabadabadu ]; printf $$?) @echo $(shell [ ! -e /etc/dpkg/origins/default ]; printf $$?) @echo $(shell [ ! -e /etc/dpkg/origins/dabadabadu ]; printf $$?) ifeq ( $(shell [ -e /etc/dpkg/origins/default ]; printf $$?), 0) ifeq ( $(shell dpkg-vendor --derives-from Ubuntu && echo yes), yes) @echo "ubuntu maverick" else @echo "debian squeeze" endif else @echo "debian lenny" endif $ make 0 1 1 0 debian lenny -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
