debian/crontab problems
Hi all, I am a happy Debian user for quite some time now. Only recently have I begun making my own debian packages. The only real issue I've come across with no answer (from the maint-guide and other related documentation as well as #debian on irc.openprojects.net) is related to the file debian/crontab. When I run deb-make from within the appropriate directory it creates the sub directory "debian" with various example file (denoted by the .ex suffix). This is all fine and dandy and I haven't needed any of these files until now. I need to be able to make crontab entires in the system wide crontab. For my purposes cron.daily and cron.hourly are not usefull enough. So I go ahead and edit the debian/crontab.ex and save it as debian/crontab. I build the package (with no problems) yet when I install the package I can see no evidence what so ever of the crontab. What am I doing wrong? Is there some other configuration file that I have to inform that the crontab file exists? Thanks in advance for any help ;) -- Kevin C. Krinke Open Door Software Inc.

Without having checked, my first guess would be, that the default debian/rules files doesn't call dh_installcron, thereby not installing the file to its appropriate location.

See dh_installcron(1). The cron files go under /etc in the cron.* directories. In your case, since it's not daily/weekly, it needs to go in `/etc/cron.d'. Assuming you are using debhelper, dh_installcron should do this. Just name the crontab as `debian/.cron.d', and dh_installcron should install it into the package for you. If you are only producing a single .deb from the source, you could also name it `debian/cron.d'. If you are using debhelper compatibility >2, each debhelper file should ideally be prefixed with `.'. See debhelper(1) for the details.

Re: debian/crontab problems [solved]
Wow With every new thing I learn about Debian; the more I realize how little I know about Debian. Thank you all so very much! It seems that I didn't have dh_installcron in debian/rules and the naming of the file was wrong. Everything is working out perfectly and I couldn't ask for a better development platform to work with. Nor could I ask for a better support group for that matter! Thanks Again! Cheers! -- Kevin C. Krinke Open Door Software Inc.

I believe debstd actually tries to add the contents debian/crontab to /etc/crontab at install time. This is NOT what you want, and would be a policy violation since /etc/crontab is a conffile. debstd is not taking advantage of modern mechanisms for doing the same thing. If you are new to Debian packaging, I recommend against using debmake/debstd, as there are likely to be other subtle "gotchas" like this. Instead, install debhelper and read its documentation. Try installing dh-make and running dh_make instead of debmake. This will create example files using debhelper, and you can use debian/cron.d to add a file to /etc/cron.d. -- - mdz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Help with Bug#144638 : cvs-inject and version numbering.
I'm having problems deciding how to fix a bug filed against a package I maintain: here is the report: Package: dnsmasq Version: 1.4-2 Severity: normal cvs-inject say this is a violation of policy, and it certainly is odd to have a debian-revision but no diff. I'm not sure what the best solution is. -David $ cvs-inject dnsmasq_1.5-1.dsc -W/home/dwhedon/temp/ . . . snip snip . . . Warning!! No /home/dwhedon/temp//temp-cvs-inject/dnsmasq-1.5 Though the version number indicates this is not a Debian Native Package, it seems to be one. This is a policy violation. This should be corrected. Do you wish to continue?[y/N]y OK. Continuing anyway. cd dnsmasq-1.5.orig /usr/bin/cvs-inject: cd: dnsmasq-1.5.orig: No such file or directory $ end bug report --. Since I am the upstream maintainer of dnsmasq it suits me to develop it like a native package, I have one source tree which includes the debian subdirectory (and control files for RedHat, Suse...). The total code is only around 30k, so there's no problem doing a complete source upload even for packaging changes. OTOH I want to keep a version number which includes a Debian revision, since I want to be able to make changes which only affect the Debian package without making a general release on Freshmeat etc. It appears from the bug report that I can't do that. Can anybody point to where in policy it's forbidden, and suggest how I can fix the problem? Do I really have to start including the source as a tarball inside the package? Help, please?

advocate for gween
Hello, I have build a debian-package of gween (gween.freesources.org). gween is a web engine based on php. It replaces the template-system and helps administrating php webpages. You already can find it with adding this to your sources.list: deb http://apt.freesources.org/debian sid main deb-src http://apt.freesources.org/debian sid main I already read debian-policy and developers-reference. Now I'm at reading the new-maintainers-guide. Would anyone be advocate for me? I don't have a signed key at the moment (I think in the next month), and I don't feel good enough to register for nm-process. I would like to have gween in debian so that I can learn a bit and then as fast as possible I will start the nm-process. Thanks a lot Jonas PS: You also can find me at opn as mejo (#debian-devel, #fHG and #debian.de) -- We'll try to make different mistakes this time -- Larry Wall -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
