Hi,
I have a compiled kernel module for the specific kernel version and I want to
create a deb package for it. I want to run "depmod -aeF /boot/System.map-$kvers
$kvers" in postinst script. How can I define kvers in control file and access
it in postinst script? I am using cons to compile the k

And I can't believe that any policy for any RPM based distro is advising to
print such useless information. IMHO,

Sorry to say it that harsh: I doubt anyone here will be able to help
you. We are focused on doing high-quality Debi
rpm doesn't. I am going through the joy of trying to reconcile the two
systems so as to not have two divergent code bases as much as
possible.

There is no cross-compatibility between Debian package building and RPMs
at all. They are not even remotely similar systems. But yes
So there is no cross-compatibility between debian control file and rpm

Exactly why the postinst generation method that has been given as a
(pretty good) solution would not work?

Generally, you don't, since generally there's no reason to do so. I can't
say I've ever had any reason to want to do that in any of the Debian
packages I maintain.

this with rpm using .rpmmacros but looking for the equivalent in .deb.
Is this not possible? The manuals seem to indicate that it is but not
exactly how. -- IV

Hi, I want to define a variable such as package_initials in control
file and be able to access %{package_initials} in postinst file. Do I
define it in control file as:
XC-package_initials: the_initials
or some other way?
