[maemo-developers] Making debian package...

[From: nisha jain]

Hi,

The dpkg-build.sh is a script file i found to build the debian package.
Is there some other way to create it? I have gone through tutorial and
whatever procedure written there, is not working for me. I got some advices
as to put my code in already exisiting application package and build it.
I don't want to do that as size is increasing.

Following is a script file to create debian for given target.........

#!/bin/sh

#

# This little script builds an appropriately-versioned .deb file depending

# on your exact architecture (as defined in CFLAGS).

# On an N800 (-mcpu=arm1136jf-s), the version is suffixed with "-3".

# On a 770 (-mcpu=arm926ej-s), the version is suffixed with "-2".

# In all other cases, the version is suffixed with "-1".

#

CHANGELOG=`dirname $0`/debian/changelog

# Test whether we're running Chinook or a "legacy" Maemo.

MAEMO_VERSION=`pkg-config libosso --modversion | cut -d . -f 1`

if [ "x$MAEMO_VERSION" = "x1" ]

then

VERSION_SUFFIX=-os2006-os2007

else

VERSION_SUFFIX=-os2008

fi

# Test if this is the armel build (as opposed to the x86 build)

GCC_HOST_IS_ARMEL=`gcc --version | head -n 1 | grep arm`

if [ "x$GCC_HOST_IS_ARMEL" != "x" ]; then

DBP_EXTRA=-B

fi

sed -i "1,1s/(\([0-9.][0-9.]*\)[-a-zA-Z0-9]*)/(\1$VERSION_SUFFIX)/"
$CHANGELOG

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -i $DBP_EXTRA

sed -i "1,1s/(\([0-9.][0-9.]*\)[-a-zA-Z0-9]*)/(\1)/" $CHANGELOG


Thanks and Regards,
Nisha
