Permissions *may* be stored in the upstream tarball, in which case they are preserved. (Execute permission, for example). But permissions are not stored in the .diff.gz (they cannot be; its just a .diff). ./debian/rules is chmod +x; any other scripts which are run at compile-time must be called as "sh script" or chmod +x before running them (unless they are already executable in the upstream tarball). > >man dh_fixperms > > > >anything else must be done manually. permissions are preserved as > >installed into debian/ > > > man dh_fixperms : doesn't say anything about files in /etc/dev.d/block/*; > postinst is not a good way issit ? You should make the maintainer scripts as simple as possible. If the files need to be owned by someone other than root, then you should chmod them at compile time (as part of the the "install" rule), if possible. If you need to add a user, though, then it is necessary to do so in postinst, and THEN you can chmod /etc/dev.d/block/*.

klibido - usenet binary grabber for KDE
Hello Mentors, Klibido[1] is a usenet binary grabber written in c++ by Alessandro "bauno" Bonometti . I packaged it and would like to maintain it for Debian. The package is lintian valid and respects the Debian Policy, except for this warning caused by CVS directory in upstream package (The author is aware ). W: klibido source: source-contains-CVS-dir admin/CVS You can grab the package sources/binaries using my repository: deb http://orniere-du-globe.net/debian ./ deb-src http://orniere-du-globe.net/debian ./ I know the upstream author and have contributed to upstream sources and i helped in fixing a bug in the 0.2.2.1 release. Thank you in advance. Best regards. Gonéri Le Bouder 1: http://klibido.sf.net/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Including object (.o) files in a package - linda errors
Hi list, I am packaging mn_fit (source package is named mn-fit; currently stuck in NEW). Upstream tells me that the capability exists for users to create a customized version of mn_fit by linking their own Fortran source code with mn_fit static libraries and the mn_fit main object file, mn_main_k.o. So I am creating a new mn-fit-dev binary package to contain these libraries, etc. (Thus, users who don't need to customize mn_fit can just install the mn-fit binary package, without the additional 3 Mb of static libs in mn-fit-dev.) The problem is that linda really doesn't like the object file: > arcturus[6]:~/Debian/mn-fit% linda -i mn-fit-dev_5.05-1_powerpc.deb > E: mn-fit-dev; Object /usr/lib/mn-fit/obj/programs/mn_main_k.o is not > directly linked against libc. > The binary object shown above is not directly linked against the > required library libc.so.6. > W: mn-fit-dev; Shared binary object /usr/lib/mn-fit/obj/programs/mn_main_k.o > has no dependancy information. > The binary object listed above is a shared object, but does not report > that it depends on any other shared libraries. What can I do about this? I found that linda gives the same complaints about libcrt1.o (and other object files) in the libc6-dev package. (Lintian doesn't care.) Should I just add linda overrides to ignore the error and warning? thanks in advance, -- Kevin B.

The files should be 0644. If the `make install` run does not install them there with proper permissions, or you use debian/rules to install them, then use debian/rules to set the permissions. Do not use postinst unless you want to give the user a choice over the permissions. Then, you would use dpkg-statoverride. -- Please do not send copies of list mail to me; I read the list! .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' :proud Debian developer, admin, user, and author `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP subkeys?
