Hello , my name is Mihai Felseghi and I am
interesed in becoming an Debian maintainer and for the start I want to
build some packages on my own machine and learning how to do it .
One of these days I was reading the "Debian New
Maintainers' Guide" and found a script wich finds out what packages are
nedded for building another package :
strace -f -o /tmp/log ./configure
# or make instead of ./configure, if the package doesn t use autoconf
for x in dpkg -S $(grep open /tmp/log|\
perl -pe 's!.* open\(\"([^\"]*).*!$1!' |\
grep "^/"| sort | uniq|\
grep -v "^\(/tmp\|/dev\|/proc\)" ) 2>/dev/null|\
cut -f1 -d":"| sort | uniq'; \
do \
echo -n "$x (>=" 'dpkg -s $x|grep ^Version|cut -f2 -d":" ' "), "; \
done
but this does not work or maybe I don't know how to use it .
So please help me with this issue , maybe you could give an
advice where to find such a script or what I have to modify to make
this work.
Sincerely yours Mihai Felseghi !
