Create package for XUL-based app
Hi. I want to package a XUL-based application which isn't in Debian Repository yet. I've read many tutorials, including "Debian New Maintainters' Guide" but I can't find how to package this kind of apps. You don't have to compile it (it's an script-based app) so it doesn't have a "Makefile" file. I use "dpkg-buildpackage" and it creates a .deb file but it doesn't include my app. Can you help me? where can I find instructions? Thanks in advance. -- David Rios signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
