[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Python deb packages

[From: Teemu Harju]

Hi,

I still cannot get the symbolic links created inside the .deb package. I can
of course manually place the .desktop file also in the
/etc/others-menu/extra_applications, but still it would be nice if the
package.links file would work. Could this be caused by old dpkg-deb version
or something?  The uitest.links file that I've created is inside .deb
package when i decompress the package with "ar x". The links file looks like
this....

/var/lib/install/usr/share/applications/hildon/uitest.desktop
/etc/others-menu/extra_applications/uitest.desktop

Here is the contents of the package uitest-0.0.1.deb...

[sbox-SDK_ARM: ~/UITest] > dpkg-deb --build uitest-0.0.1
dpkg-deb: building package `uitest' in `uitest-0.0.1.deb'.
[sbox-SDK_ARM: ~/UITest] > dpkg -c uitest-0.0.1.deb
