I have recently been putting all of the relevant information in
configure.ac, and letting configure build the package files.
For example, debian/control.in will hold lines of the form:
Description: @PACKAGE_SUMMARY@
@PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_DEB@
Hi thanks for the answer, this is in the direction of what i want! How
exactly do i define new @VARIABLENAME@?
Here's a simplified version. You need to format the
description, and quoting can be a pain. I accomplish
most of that by setting PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_DEB to
a file name, filter the text into that file, and
then use AC_SUBST_FILE.
$ grep -A 1 MY_INIT configure.ac
MY_INIT( [short description],
[long description])
$ cat m4/my_init.m4
AC_DEFUN([MY_INIT],
[
PACKAGE_SUMMARY='$1'
PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION='$2'
AC_SUBST( PACKAGE_SUMMARY )
AC_SUBST( PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION )
])
$ cat debian/control.in
Description: @PACKAGE_SUMMARY@
@PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION@
