How would you go about doing this? Would you patch the makefile or add
something in to the debian/rules file. My rules file is pretty basic at
the moment and just consists of:
%:
dh $@  

(Sorry Mat) Chris

dh --with autotools_dev $@ --parallel

override_dh_auto_configure:
dh_auto_configure -- CXXFLAGS=$(CXXFLAGS) -Wall
--bindir=/usr/games --datadir=/usr/share/games

If your upstream is not using autotools then this probably won't work.

BTW, if you are interested in joining the Debian games team we need more folk.

Thanks Paul, that was the final fix I needed. I have now uploaded my
package to the mentors site. However it wont be available in Debian
until simgear is upgraded and unfortunately I don't think that will
happen until I get around to it!

The games team sounds interesting, I have just joined the mailing list.

Thanks again,

Chris

FGRun Lintian Error

2010-07-26 Thread Chris Baines 
Hello mentors,

I am getting a package-section-games-but-contains-no-game lintian error
on my package fgrun. FGRun is a FLightGear graphical launcher,
FlightGear is a flight simulator game. FGRun puts its binary in
the /usr/bin directory. FGRun is not a game, however it depends on
FlightGear and its only current purpose is to configure and launch
FlightGear which is a game.

Should I just ignore the error or place the binary in the
games /usr/share/games directory or change the section of the package to
something else?

Thanks,

Chris
