Hi!
I'm trying to create a package for RCF (a firewall) to be built from
a CVS tree and I'd like to somehow 'retrieve' the version and
revision from the root Makefile (which is already used to create the
.deb file...) I tried using the '-v' switch of dpkg-buildpackage to

Ok, thanks, people, for your help.
The deb package seems to be fixed in terms of the firewall init.d
script and it's removal and install behaviour, but I can't seem to
get file permissions working!
I have the following lines in my debian/rules file:
...
install: build
dh_testdir

Your new package is not the problem, here. It seems that the old
version of your package provided a broken prerm script. So, when dpkg

Ok, thanks to the help of some, I've configured a lot of the debian
package for RCf, but when I install (after running dpkg-buildpackage
and lintian), I get a whole lot of errors:

The update-rc.d has to be executed in the postinst of the

I've had a look at the man pages for update-rc.d and dh_installinit,
and I *think* I've got the init.d script working (it appears in
debian/rcf/etc/init.d/firewall, anyway, and contains what I put into
the init.d file in the debian dir.)
this is my rules file now:

It's a standard Makefile, so you need to have tabs before the commands
that defines the target. You've removed the initial tabs from the dh_
lines.
