(sorry for my awful English, I'm Italian) Hi, I'm the one who's packaging wesnoth for i386s (of course, the packages you obtain using the apt line "http://download.tuxfamily.org/wesnothrepos/debian binary"). Since I'm not an expert mantainer (I made these .deb packages - using various how-tos founded on the web - for myself, and then I decided to upload them in un unofficial repository), surely the fault is mine... sorry :( I'll give you some informations about how I make these packages.
To build the .deb package from source, I follow these steps: http://wesnothrepos.tuxfamily.org/?page_id=5 Before the dh-make command, I've edited the .debian/control file in this way: <blockquote>Source: wesnoth-unstable Section: unknown Priority: extra Maintainer: Andrea Romagnoli <**my email address**> Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 5), autotools-dev, debmake Standards-Version: 3.7.2 Package: wesnoth-unstable Architecture: any Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends} Description: Battle for Wesnoth: latest development version This package includes both the game and the editor. You can find binaries under /opt/games/wesnoth-unstable/bin/, or you can install the package wesnothMenuUnstable (an addictional repository is required). . For more info: http://wesnothrepos.tuxfamily.org/ Project Home page: http://www.wesnoth.org/</blockquote> Once the package has been created, I use the following command to create the Packages.gz file: dpkg-scanpackages binary /dev/null | gzip -9c > binary/Packages.gz Finally, I upload the whole thing. If the error is mine... please tell me how to fix it :) PS: i build wesnoth under a debian stable system; I tested the repo under debian and ubuntu feisty, using apt-get or synaptic, and it seems to work fine. PPS: I don't know if this is the error: in my local debian directory, I leave the outdated packages (for backup purpouses), when I the scanpackages command; for example debian |---- packages.gz |---- wesnoth_1.3.5.deb (outdated) |---- wesnoth_1.3.6.deb Instead, I delete the old package from the repository, in order to save some ftp space... -- Adept crashed on deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/wesnothrepos/debian binary https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/128720 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
