I'm not sure it's "should go under /var/lib/install", it's "after
installation they appear in".

Oh, you meant the user-space installable packages. I have no knowledge
of any other tutorial for them, and have no further comments on them
eihter ;)

The maemo tutorial[1] says that maemo packages should depend on the
"maemo" package version >=1.0 and installed files should go under
the /var/lib/install directory.

Those manuals are as official as it gets, and there shouldn't be
anything maemo-specific about building a debian package for it. It's
supposed to be a debian system after all.

dh_make is in the debhelper package with the rest of the dh_ tools

[maemo-developers] Manual for creating debian packages

2005-08-17 Thread Timo Steuerwald

Hi all!

I'm searching for a good manual about building debian packages for 
maemo. There are a couple of manuals/tutorials for this on the net (for 
example http://www.debian.org/doc/devel-manuals), but I'm not sure 
what's the best way to do it. ...May be, at first, there will be also a 
good idea to do it the easiest - quick&dirty - way instead of the best 
way ;-)
Also, I noticed that there are some essential tools missing, which are 
needed in this tutorials (e.g. dh_make)



[sbox-SDK_PC: ~] > apt-get install dh-make
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Package dh-make is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package dh-make has no installation candidate
[sbox-SDK_PC: ~] >


Any ideas?

Cheers,

Timo
