webserver directory locations when you're not using a webserver
Hi there, I just need some expert advise on a location of a directory. I have a package [tigger] that create a gallery from a directory full of pictures. It has a feature to add a drop shadow to the preview. This requires the use of about 4/5 extra graphics that come this the program. The upstream stores them in the foler images/ and recommeneds manually putting them in your webserver root directory so that any gallery's you create on that webserver all share the same images/ (this presumes that all the gallerys you create are for that webserver). The program has a --imagedir= option to manual choose where the images/ directory is relevant to the pictures on the webserver i.e. if the pictures were in /var/www/gallery, /var/www/images would be --imagedir=/images. (btw -- the program defaultly uses /images for the images directory). Now what happens when you either don't have a local webserver, or are not creating the gallery for it? Should the package put the images/ directory in a directory some where (/etc/tigger/images/) then get the user to move it to the apporiate place and telling them to use --imagedir=, noting this in the README.debian and man page. I take it that making a depend on apache, and auto placing the images/ in /var/www/images/ is out of the question.

Whoops- extracting source for deb.
I accidently deleted the source directory of my package, but have a copy of the .deb it generated. When I run dpkg-source -x package-name it gives me a couple of errors that i know about (as I was play around with it), and so stops. Is there anyway I can force extract the source from the deb, regardless of the errors? Thanks, Hereward -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Whoops- extracting source for deb.
The source is not contained in the .deb, so no. If you mean the .dsc, then you can unpack it manually by untarring the .orig.tar.gz and applying the .diff.gz over it (using 'zcat ../foo.diff.gz | patch -p1' or thereabouts). Ahh. The reason I was 'playing around with it' was becuase it wasn't creating a .diff.gz! All I've got after my cockup is the .deb, the .orig and a big gap in my hardrive. Back to square one then. At least it is all good experience! Thanks, Hereward msg04758/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: XMMS Plugins
- When done, edit the control file, and change the _binary package_ name from the one dh_make guessed to one similar to other plugin packages, like xmms-jess. - Then edit the rules file (and other files in debian/) where dh_make used it's guessed (binary!) package name and substite (or rename the files) with xmms-jess. OK, this is all I have to do then (i thought it would be more complicated to change the name). Everything else you mentioned I've worked out and done already, though it is good to confirm that i made it as a binary not a library, as I was wondering that when I started. Thanks, Hereward

Hi, I moved the debianization from my potato box to my woody one so that i can get the newer versions, but it is now chucking up errors. lintian keeps giving me these two errors. Firstly the build-depend of debhelper, though in my debian/control i have: Depends: libc6 (= 2.1.2), xlib6g (=3.3.6-4), debhelper (= 3.0.0) it keeps saying I need to add one. Secondarly it tells me I'm putting the man pages in the wrong place. I had the same problem when i first start on my potato box, but fixed it by renaming XCounter.1 to XCounter.1x but neither of them work for lintian now. I have dh_installman debian/XCounter.1 in my debian/rules file, and have tried adding the x on the end here aswell.

Re: Re: dpkg-scanpackages problem
You should delete the old .debs and only leave the most current versions in the archive, if I recall correctly. OK, i can do that, but the strange thing is that dpkg-scanpackage was generating the Packages.gz with the newest version, with more than one version of the debs.

dpkg-scanpackages problem
Hi, I'm managed to generate a Packages.gz file for my two packages, but recentlly (last couple of hours) when I updated the package version to 1.0.4-4 inorder to fix some bugs I get the problem that the generated Packages.gz doesn't contain the newest version, instead the oldest (1.0.4-1). # [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~dpkg-scanpackages debian debian/or | gzip debian/Packages.gz !

/proc file system
Hi, Is there anyway that i can make a dependancy for /proc kernel support? Thanks, Hereward -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Re: /proc file system
Um, where are you getting kernels without /proc support? For most systems that would be very broken. I beleive, but obviously havn't double checked that all Debian kernels have proc enabled. I realize that most systems will have /proc support, i havn't seen one that doesn't have it, but i was just exploring all dependy errors that could happen.
