So Matthew, what do we miss to make this Debian packaging system happy?
- debian/rules
- debian/changelog
- build dependency on graphviz
- debian/control descriptions of the interface packages
- debian/control source `Section'
- dir, install and link files for the interface packages
- debian/libppl.doc-base and debian/libppl-dev.doc-base
May I commit these changes?
Building the packages with the changes works, but the following error occurs when installing the libppl package. Anyone recognise the cause? Michael?
Selecting previously deselected package libppl. (Reading database ... 157147 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking libppl (from libppl_0.8pre1-1_i386.deb) ... Setting up libppl (0.8pre1-1) ... error in control file: `Section' value not specified at /usr/sbin/install-docs line 606, <IN> line 4. dpkg: error processing libppl (--install): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 9 Errors were encountered while processing: libpplA `Section' line is present in the control file in the package.
The cause was the format of the doc-base control file, so now the package installs successfully.
Should either of ppl_lcdd and ppl_lpsol be packaged? If so then should they go into the libppl package, to match the packaging of ppl_lcdd in the RPMs?
