Debian source package - HOW from java project

#1 Post by okram »

Respect everyone.

I have one big problem. I created desktop application (Java Swing) and packed her in a DEB (Debian) package - everything works great, but just can not find instructions on how to pack in the Debian source package.

Please help.

Thank you all

How did you create the .deb package? I mean, if you create a deb package with the debian tools, you start off with an orig tarball of the unaltered source release, extract it and add a /debian folder with all the appropriate things in the files.

Then the appropriate build command generates your debian source files, then proceeds to any compiling and packaging of the resulting files. I use "debuild" shortcuts from the devscripts package, so one way to build unsigned packages is

Code: Select all

yes and debian has a policy. so plan on making it for "contrib/" and or "non-free" due to java licensing. no biggie just a different section. dont plan on forcing it into to debian (already rejecting projects due to overload) in the free section - they don't
