This is a raw unformatted dump of what we did to build and upload the Lire .deb.
$ cd ~/cvs-sourceforge/logreport/package/debian $ vi changelog :r !date --rfc $ cd /usr/local/src/debian/lire/debian/20010219Run something like 'DIB_V=20020214 DIB_P=lire DIB_TARDIR=../archive/ ./debian-install-build'. This does:
$ cd /usr/local/src/debian/lire/debian/20010219 $ cp \ ~/cvs-sourceforge/logreport/service/lire-20010219.tar.gz . $ tar zxf lire-20010219.tar.gz $ cd lire/20010418 $ mv lire-20010418 lire-20010418.orig $ tar zxf lire-20010418.tar.gz $ cd lire-20010418 $ mkdir debian $ cp \ ~/cvs-sourceforge/logreport/package/debian/[^C]* debian/Export the shell environment variable EMAIL, it should hold your email address, as it is to appear in the maintainers field of the package. (One could use 'dh_make --copyright gpl -s' on first time debianizing.) Build the .deb by running:
$ debuild 2>&1 | tee /tmp/buildCheck the .deb:
$ debc | lessAfter having really tested it (dpkg -i, purge, etc.), optionally install it on any local apt-able websites you might have (Joost has one on http://mdcc.cx/debian/) and upload it to hibou's apt-able archive:
$ scp lire_20010418-1_all.deb \ hibou.logreport.org:/var/www/logreport.org/pub/debian/dists/local/contrib/binary-all/admin/ $ scp lire_20010418*.gz \ hibou.logreport.org:/var/www/logreport.org/pub/debian/dists/local/contrib/source/admin/ $ scp lire_20010418*.*s* \ hibou.logreport.org:/var/www/logreport.org/pub/debian/dists/local/contrib/source/admin/Move the old debian stuff on hibou to hibou:/pub/archive/debian/ . Update the Packages file by running
$ cd /var/www/logreport.org/pub/debian $ make
To upload it to the official debian mirrors:
