[sorry for the AOL re: DH_COMPAT mode 3 and dh_installdeb] also sprach Justin Pryzby [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2005.03.09.0036 +0100]: If a file is provided by the package, then it is a conffile and not only a configuration file. Yes. OTOH, if maintainer scripts create the file (possibly from a template in /usr/share/), then it is a configuration file but not a conffile. The point is that the policy says that configuration files that are automatically generated must not be marked as conffiles. Yet the maintainer must ensure that they are treated as configuration files, with help from tools like ucf. -- 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?

DESTDIR and .conf file
Hello, I'm still learning to build debian package. Following the Debian New Maintainer's guide. There are two things I dont understand: 1 ) --- I want that once the binary package is installed, the file 'minimalist.pl' is into '/usr/bin'. To do so, I put these in the install section of my rules file: install: build dh_testdir dh_testroot dh_clean -k dh_installdirs cp minimalist.pl debian/minimalist/usr/bin Is it right? Where should I specify i want it into '/usr/bin', '/usr/sbin', whatever... ? There's no makefile for this software. It's just about copying one file into the path. 2 ) To install the configuration file, I append to what I written (in the install section yet: cp minimalist.conf-sample debian/minimalist/etc/minimalist.conf I had to append 'etc' into the 'dirs' file. Is it right ? PS: I do know there is a minimalist package. I just do it to learn. -- ASPO Infogérance http://aspo.rktmb.org/activites/infogerance Unofficial FAQ fcolc http://faq.fcolc.eu.org/ LUG sur Orléans et alentours (France).

If a file is provided by the package, then it is a conffile and not only a configuration file. OTOH, if maintainer scripts create the file (possibly from a template in /usr/share/), then it is a configuration file but not a conffile.
