I've recently compiled some gpsd stuff that goes in the debian gpsd-clients package (but from a suitable gpsd version to work with osso-gpsd 1.0), and I wanted to package it up instead of distributing bare binaries. The trouble is, I didn't compile everything in the debian package; I didn't have the necessary headers for everything, which was ok, because all I really wanted was gpspipe.

Now I'm going to package it, but I'm not sure it's right to call the package gpsd-clients, to avoid dependency issues with packages from debian.

Any suggestions on what to do here? Call it something else, slap something in the version, or what? (I'd rather not mess with building the whole thing, but I suppose I could if that's really the one true way.)

Thanks!

Here's a file list of the Debian Lenny armel package; bold files are ones I have (I have the man pages too, of course, but was going to leave them out, since maemo eats all documentation anyway.):
