[debian6500.git] / trc6500-master-file / readme.txt

This puts things and thongs together to get us a makeshift Debian package. Copied from the same in lgcore6500(git repo)/dev/services/webconfig. Use with caution.


** How to use

edit things in /debian, notably the control file

edit the Makefile to include the files you want to include (ie, here, the master-files directory which is simply the "master" folder in the debian6500 git repo, without the symlinks)

pray "make" will do the job


** What files we need

Everything in the debian/ folder, ie control, preinst, postinst and the like.
Obviously they are not required for a _debian_ package but for _ours_ they are

the ../additional_scripts folder. Please, please don't trash it away. These scripts come from the lgcore6500 repository, that's why they're no symlinks like for the master-files thing.


** About versioning

Let us say our package is version 7.8.1-1. This means it's the version 1 of the customization archive for Debian 7.8, hence 7.8.1. The -1 suffix is a package version, in theory it doesn't affect the contents, only how they're packaged.

That's for version number. Remember also to list your changes in the debian-changelog in the debian/ folder ; it'll be useful to check the OS version on systems once it's installed.
