=head1 NAME
foo - A template project
=head1 WTF?
You may use this project in order to build your own Debian package for your own project. This has been tested with Debian GNU/Linux Squeeze and Debian GNU/Linux Wheezy.
Feel free to modify any aspects. This project is just an empty example foo.
Follow these steps:
=head2 Install required packages
Run the following:
sudo aptitude install lintian devscripts dpkg-dev make perl
Todo: Ensure this are the correct packages. In order to test that I would have to setup a blank Debian system.
=head2 Compile the project
Go to the to level directory and run
make
To test run
./bin/foo
It should print out the version number of the project.
=head2 Create a Debian package
Go to the to level directory and run
make deb
It will create the files like:
../foo_0.0.0.0_all.deb
../foo_0.0.0.0.dsc
../foo_0.0.0.0_amd64.changes
../foo_0.0.0.0.tar.gz
It should create a debian package in ../. Check and install it, e.g:
lintian --pedantic ../foo_0.0.0.0_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i ../foo_0.0.0.0_all.deb
Run
dpkg -L foo
to see whats in there. You can now run
/usr/bin/foo
or for example
man foo
=head2 Read the Makefile
Read the Makefile in order to understand what's going on.
=head1 Customize
Now, since you understood everything feel free to customize everything the way you want it. E.g.:
Don't use POD for documentation but LaTeX
Compile a C program
Include a ./lib dir, add it to the 'install' Makefile rule
etc etc.
You should also consider the following:
=head2 Manual page
This template is using POD for creating manual pages. Edit ./docs/foo.pod and run
make documentation
in order to build ./docs/foo.1. The page will be included in the resulting debian package automatically. You can review the page with
man ./docs/foo.1
=head2 Renaming foo into your project name
Rename all files which have *foo* included into your own new package name. You can do that with:
PROJECTNAME=yourproject
find . -name \*foo\* |
while read foo; do git mv $foo ${foo/foo/$PROJECTNAME}; done
Search all content and rename *foo* into your own new package name. You can do that with:
grep -R foo . | grep -v .git |
cut -d: -f1 | uniq | xargs sed -i "s/foo/$PROJECTNAME/g"
=head2 Updating ./debian
Edit the following files accordingly to your new project (e.g. with vim):
./debian/control
./debian/copyright
./debian/README
=head2 Update changelog
Go to the to level directory and run
dch -i
