Hello folks, here are some patches for build process that allow building debian packages right the usual canonical way (eg. via dpkg-buildpackage or dck-buildpackage), instead 'manually' setting up the build environment and calling make. So, from a debian native perspective, turning it from head onto feet ;-) dpkg-buildpackage + friends expect the debian/rules file being present in the unpacked source tree and driving the actual build (the 'deb-pkg' make target does that quite the opposite way). Obviously, 'make deb-pkg' can't be used directly, as it would destroy our debian/rules file ... To archieve this, I've done several things: * place .config file to the source tree (not in this patch queue) * add some helper targets to the toplevel makefile, so we can just ask for certain things, eg. version, arch, etc, that we need later * fix some missing dependencies in the generated debian/control file * change scripts/package/mkdebian so that the name of the generated rules file name can be changed via environment * a generic debian/rules file for driving the build The last patch isn't really meant to be merged yet (need to change the deb-pkg rule to not overwrite debian/rules anymore) - just including it for illustration. What do you think about this ? --mtx
