Re: directory to deb

As I know, no. In your case checkinstall is better. customizing the script which follows produces a .deb of the same (usually low) quality of checkinstall. Thanks a lot for the code snip, NN_il_Confusionario. It explains well why there isn't such a tool to create .deb from a directory. I have a second thought, since checkinstall accept any install command, can I do checkinstall rsync -vua . / from the directory that I prepared to create a .deb file? thanks -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

For the specific use of creating a debian chroot, you might prefer debootstrap(8). Also, there's a lot of posts on the list about these (there were some recently) and definitely a lot more in google. I agree that chroot is a wild beast that is not well documented.

apt-get new package management capability
Hi, I remember seeing that apt-get can do orphan packages automatic removal now. Does it need special setup? Package installed in my long-overhauled Debian was by debfoster, then aptitude. Can I just use apt-get for automatic packages clean up now? How can I transfer the knowledge from debfoster/aptitude to apt? Can anyone show me steps in managing package only by apt-get, or point me to the right web page? thanks -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

2.6.25 Issues with IDE (via82xx)
Any one had problems with this? Hal startup finds bad opcode, busy and resets IDE killing DMA, 32-bit access, etc. All this can be restored using hdparm afterwards. However, this may be causing other errors on the HD as well. No problems with 2.6.23 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
