In my experience, every package that I have tried to port so far does not really depend on debhelper 5. If you change debian/compat to contain "4", and either change the build dependencies or just use the -d option of dpkg-buildpackage, debhelper works. Of course, I am sure there are some packages which really need debhelper 5 so it would be good to see that available in the scratchbox environment.

Most of the packages I've run into only use debhelper >= 5 to get 5 to debian/compat, I've successfully built many packages just by lowering the dependency and echo 4 > debian/compat. Maybe one failed to build because of that, not quite sure -- it's still worth a try. -- Santtu Lakkala ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

[maemo-developers] debhelper
It seems a lot of Debian source packages now require debhelper >= 5. This is a PITA because Scratchbox only has 4.2.32 and as far as I can tell building it is going to be no small task...I am failing to build the dependency libmodule-build-perl. Is there any easy way around this or do I have to write my own Debian packaging metadata? That would be a shame because it seems to me that Maemo could greatly benefit from the vast array of Debian source packages that are already available from your favorite FTP mirror site. -- Andrew Barr "My life is an open book, but I'm not going to read it to you." -- David Hyde Pierce ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
