Hi there!

I am flooding the channels with spam about packaging! I have blogged about it and now I am announcing that I have modified that blog somewhat into a more permanent post on the Maemo wiki.

You can find it here: http://wiki.maemo.org/Packaging

Please participate either through editing or through the talk section. I am going to be following up with several more blog posts of this type. The next one will discuss some of the tools written in python for packaging in Maemo and I would like to dive into a full example of how to create a package from beginning to end, and how to surmount any difficulties met along the way.

Comments and questions welcome wherever you feel like posting them, here, the mailling list, the wiki, etc.

Regards,

Jeremiah

The packaging section on the official maemo docs should be also mentioned, some maemo specific packaging tips&tricks are mentioned there.

Hi there!

I would bet that you do not have a debian/rules file. Can you check that to make sure? One way to do that is to cd into the directory where you issued the build command and do an 'ls debian/' and see if there is a rules file.

You may not even have a debian directory yet - in which case we'll need to create one.
