Good point :) 
I've now added an ifdef in the Makefile, if destdir is not specified,
it will install to /usr/local/bin, if it is specified, it will install
to $(DESTDIR)/usr/bin

My dependencies were pretty much based on the script example from the
maintainers guide. I don't know of a reliable way to determine the
build dependencies otherwise. I've removed the lib dependencies, gcc
and the versions as you recommended. I've kept the version dependency
for debhelper as that was put there by a script, not sure if the
version is needed or not.

Thank you very much for your feedback :)

Lol, that's exactly what it was :)

RFS: Bustle - to do list manager with a difference

2005-01-26 Thread Fred Strauss
Hi

Would someone be willing to sponsor a package i've built?
The package is called bustle and is distributed under the GPL, i'm
also the author of bustle.

Short Description: to do list manager utilising weights to sort items
Long Description:  Bustle is a unique to do list manager in that you
can assign a weight to
  each item. Items get lighter over time and float towards the top of the list.
  In this way an item that has been on your to do list for a while will move
  up in the list, hopefully catching your attention and getting done.

The package can be downloaded from
http://www.strider.co.za/bustle_0.1.5-1_i386.deb

Kind regards
Fred

Adopting package - qub

2001-09-26 Thread Fred Strauss
Hi

I'm not a debian developer, yet :)
But I'd like to be.
I'd like to start by adopting an orphaned package.
The package I have in mind is qub - The Q Universal Boardgame

Would anyone be willing to be my mentor?
I live in Johannesburg South Africa if that helps.

Thanx
Fred
