hi folks, Debian packaging of the sawfish packages is really simple. Chris has already debianized the packages so basically all you have to do is:
download the git source cd in the package run 'autogen.sh' as normal user run 'dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot' as root (su or sudo) I just noticed that wheezy has a new gcc (4.7) as well as a new dpkg that were upload to the repositories this last weekend. Hopefully this will solve some of my problems building debs. Good luck and have fun :) On Tue, May 8, 2012 at 1:06 AM, POMPEE William <[email protected]>wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Hello Eric! > > I'm not a expert in Debian packaging but I once tried to make a package > (splashy IIRC) from the upstream source code.
