2------------------
3
4This is an unofficial Debian package, you can download it at http://rezound.sourceforge.net/

6If any Debian developers would like to make this an official pacakge, I would be happy to have them take over the packaging, or help me to become the package maintainer.

7This directory is used for the debian packaging.
8
9This is basically here for my use, or to help anyone who may take over
10the debianizing process in the future. If you want to install a .deb
11package, I'd recommend checking to see if it exists at
12http://rezound.sf.net/ before proceeding. However if you want to roll
13your own, I guess this will help you out.
14
15If you've never done this before, Don't expect any help from me, like
16I said, this is here for me, not you. But if you really must know,
17read http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ to learn the basics of the
18debianization process.
19
20As of now, any rezound .deb not packaged by me should be considered
21unofficial, and possibly unsafe. Of course being that this is GPL'd
22software, you should know that using any of this is AT YOUR OWN RISK.
23
24These steps work on Debian sarge, so it may not work on Woody or Sid.
25
26Here are the steps to making a debian package.
27
281. From the top directory run '$sh packaging/debian/deb-prep.sh'
29 The directory should now have a configure script and a
30 Makefile, and be ready for the standard autotools build
31 process. In addition, there should be a distribution tarball
32 it the next highest directory (..) .
33
34 You must have the automake-1.5 and autoconf2.13 packages
35 installed for this to work
36
372. A clean distribution tar ball and directory will now be in
38 packaging/debian/build:
39 $ cd packaging/debian/build/rezound-*
40 $ dh_make -a -s -e email@foo.org -f ../rezound*.tar.gz
41
42 You'll have to replace the wildcards above. All relative
43 paths will refer to this new working directory you are in.
44
453. You'll have to make sure the following files are in order
46 under debian:
47
48 -- control : make sure the Build-Depends: field is in order.
49 see http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ch-dreq.en.html
50 -- copyright : Check download link
51 -- changelog : Make appropriate additions.
52 -- rules :
53
544. Now run $ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
