By default, or if specified, the original source will be included only if the upstream version number the version without epoch and without Debian revision differs from the upstream version number of the previous changelog entry.
Set an output substitution variable. See deb-substvars 5 for a discussion of output substitution. No variable substitution is done on any of the fields that are output, however the special variable Format will override the field of the same name. This option can be used multiple times to read substitution variables from multiple files. Specifies the main source control file to read information from.
Specifies the format of the changelog. See dpkg-parsechangelog 1 for information about alternative formats. Look for the files to be uploaded in upload-files-dir rather than.. The list of generated files which are part of the upload being prepared. Thanks for this example! Feel free to post other examples Oops! There is a tiny cockup. Many packages are packaged using only a text editor while imitating how other similar packages are packaged and consulting how the Debian policy requires us to do.
This seems to me the most popular method for the real-life packaging activity. If you are interested alternative packaging helper tools, please see:. Here is a summary of commands similar to the debuild command.
The dpkg-buildpackage command is the official command to build the Debian binary package. For normal binary build, it executes roughly:. If the debmake command is invoked with the -T option, more verbose comments are generated for the template files. The output from the debmake command is very verbose and explains what it does as follows.
The debmake command generates all these template files based on command line options. Since no options are specified, the debmake command chooses reasonable default values for you:. The source tree after the basic debmake execution. Here is its template file generated by the debmake command. There are some commented out contents for you to customize it.
These are explained in Chapter 5, Basics. The use of the empty line and the leading space are significant. These also need to be updated. You can create a non-native Debian package using the debuild command or its equivalents see Section 4.
The command output is very verbose and explains what it does as follows. The manpage should be added to the package as reported by the lintian package, as shown in later examples see Chapter 8, More Examples.
The generated files of debhello version 0. If manual adjustments of auto-generated configuration files by the debmake command are skipped, the generated binary package may lack meaningful package description and some of the policy requirements may be missed. This sloppy package functions well under the dpkg command, and may be good enough for your local deployment. The packaging is practically the same as the above step-by-step example except for two points in Section 4.
There are several ways to generate patch files. A few examples are given in these sections:. This alternative approach to Debian packaging using a series of patch files may be less robust for future upstream changes but more flexible coping with the difficult upstream source. See Section 7. For this particular packaging case, the above Section 4. For more complicated packaging cases, both Section 4. Here is an example to create prefix-usr. Please note that the upstream source tree is restored to the original state and the patch file is available as prefix-usr.
This prefix-usr. The dpkg-source command invoked by the Debian packaging procedure in Section 4. As long as all the changes are committed by the dquilt command, the Debian source package can be built from the modified source tree. If the. Here, the dpkg-source command performs exactly the same as what the sequences of the dquilt command did in Section 4.
This is not really needed for this example but should be harmless. The lintian tool seems to produce a false positive warning for this case which has no linked library. This is not really needed for this simple example but should be harmless.
