Package: maint-guide Version: 1.2.35 Severity: wishlist Hi,
When learning packaging with maint-guide, I found something confusing to me, and I raised my issue on https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2015/03/msg00002.html , and following is the wishlist matter. Look at Chapter 2. First Steps, footnote 21 of maint-guide(html): There are several choices here: s for Single binary package, i for arch-Independent package, m for Multiple binary packages, l for Library package, k for Kernel module package, n for kernel patch package, and b for cdbs package. This document focuses on the use of the dh command (from the package debhelper) to create a single binary package, but also touches on how to use it for arch-independent or multiple binary packages. The package cdbs offers an alternative packaging script infrastructure to the dh command and is outside the scope of this document. Newbies may be confused on what's the difference between s/i/m/l/k/b, as seems no document explained it. So I suggest that add further explanation here, such as the choice s/i/m/l/k/b only affects the templates under debian/ that dh_make would prepare for you, and please don't panic if you've chose the improper one. please have a glance on the file list of package dh-make, using this command if you had it installed: dpkg -L dh-make. Of course, this is my personal suggestion. Thanks :-) -- Regards, C.D.Luminate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
