- debian/docs should probably contain BUGS README TODO and CREDITS
TODO is for internal use only.
In contrast, you are not mentioning
ChangeLog NEWS README.configure doc/README.doc
Is the omission intended? In other words, what is the exact semantics of the `debian/docs' file?
No, I'm sorry - it was rather a very quick listing of some examples; debian/docs may contain any file to be installed in /usr/share/doc/<packagename> - it is not required, if the files are simply listed in <packagename>.install .
- debian/rules is still missing
I am sure one does not start from scratch writing one. Does Debian provide a standard starting point? I mean: we have a "configure, make, make install" build system afterall.
Debian provides dh_make to create such a file for you - as you're not using debian, you probably don't have that tool. I could send you mine, if you like (as generated by dh_make + autoconf-addons)?
P.S. I am not CCing Matthew or Andrea because they already are on ppl-devel.
Makes me ask: Should I send my mails to the list directly, or just CC the list, as I'm doing up to now?
