Or just refer to it. The important thing here is the naming convention for multiple packages. But yes that part from debhelper is a good start. A interesting thing is that the convention is not always true. Take for example the changelog file. I think the most important convention should be mentioned in the best practice reference and refer to the manpage for the rest. I start to feel that this is essentially just a part of the best practice on multiple binary packages. :) Regards, // Ola > Daniel > > -- > /-------------------- Daniel Burrows <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -------------------\ > | If you wish to live wisely, > | > | ignore sayings--including this one. > | > \------- (if (not (understand-this)) (go-to http://www.schemers.org)) > --------/ -- --------------------- Ola Lundqvist --------------------------- / [EMAIL PROTECTED] Björnkärrsgatan 5 A.11 \ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] 584 36 LINKÖPING | | +46 (0)13-17 69 83 +46 (0)70-332 1551 | | http://www.opal.dhs.org UIN/icq: 4912500 | \ gpg/f.p.: 7090 A92B 18FE 7994 0C36 4FE4 18A1 B1CF 0FE5 3DD9 / --------------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
