what is so wrong with setting the rpath in the binary itself?

If the shared library is internal to the package, it should not be installed
in the system library path (e.g., /usr/lib).  Instead, install it under
/usr/lib/.  You will need to use a wrapper script to add
/usr/lib/ to LD_LIBRARY_PATH wehn running the program.

If the shared library is internal to the package, it should not be installed

game with small library

2002-10-23 Thread thomas
Hi!

I'm trying to package a game (http://taxipilot.sf.net), that comes with a
really small shared library. The only reason this library exists, is that the
provided functionality has to run inside the sound-server. Likely, it will
never be used by any other package.
Now, when I try to package the game as "single binary", everything seems to
work fine (i.e. the lib gets installed, too), but lintian complains:

W: taxipilot: non-dev-pkg-with-shlib-symlink usr/lib/libEXT_wavpo.so.0.0.0
usr/lib/libEXT_wavpo.so
E: taxipilot: no-shlibs-control-file usr/lib/libEXT_wavpo.so.0.0.0

Could anybody point me in the right direction? (Please CC me)

Thanks!
thomas

Hi!

I'm trying to package a game (http://taxipilot.sf.net), that comes with a
really small shared library. The only reason this library exists, is that the

Now, when I try to package the game as "single binary", everything seems to
work fine (i.e. the lib gets installed, too), but lintian complains:

Looking at db.debian.org you are no DD. So you cant upload. You have to
ask for a sponsor that looks at your package and then uploads it.

If you are and my search failed: Use scp to auric and move them into
the incoming and be sure to give katie the rights to read the files. :)

adopting a package

2002-10-23 Thread Andreas Klein
Thanks for your hints. But I have still two questions:

1. Where can I find the old-version of the package. (Since I want to
adopt an existing package I think I can skip the steps descriped in the
sections 3-6 in the "Debian New Maintainers' Guide" and start with section
9.)

2. I can not use the programs dupload or dput for uploading the package.
(My my debian-PC has no internet connection.) So I need a guide to: How to
upload a package manually.
