I see that you use CDBS. Nice! :-D<br>
<br>
Then I suggest to use auto-resolving of build-dependencies (currently they are not quite optimal):<br>
<br>
1) copy debian/control to debian/<a href="http://control.in" target="_blank">control.in</a><br>
2) edit debian/<a href="http://control.in" target="_blank">control.in</a> replacing cdbs build-dpendency with @cdbs@<br>
3) invoke the following command to regenerate debian/control:<br>
<br>
DEB_MAINTAINER_MODE=1 fakeroot debian/rules clean<br>
<br>
4) Check what changed in the now auto-updated debian/control<br>
5) Remove manual entries from debian/<a href="http://control.in" target="_blank">control.in</a> now auto-resolved<br></blockquote><div><br>I don't understand this step. Also it's not always clear when I should do a step or when CDBS is doing it for me...<br>
I tried to play with it, not sure if I get it for 100% though.<br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
6) Repeat steps 3-5 until satisfied<br>
6) Commit debian/<a href="http://control.in" target="_blank">control.in</a><br>
7) Commit debian/control (separately!)<br>
<br>
<br>
I also suggest to enable tracking of copyright/licensing changes:<br>
<br>
1) Include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/<a href="http://utils.mk" target="_blank">utils.mk</a><br>
2) touch debian/copyright_hints<br>
3) Invoke the following to generate debian/copyright_newhints:<br>
<br>
DEB_MAINTAINER_MODE=1 debian/rules pre-build<br>
<br>
4) Rename debian/copyright_newhints to debian/copyright_hints<br>
5) Commit debian/copyright_hints<br>
<br>
After that, at each build the source is scanned for copyright and licensing hints, and changes compared to the saved hints file trigger a warning (or a failure if DEB_MAINTAINER_MODE=1).<br></blockquote><div><br><br>I did this step.<br>
<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
<br>
I also suggest you enable upstream-tarball handling - i.e. a get-orig-source build target:<br>
<br>
1) Include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/<a href="http://upstream-tarball.mk" target="_blank">upstream-tarball.mk</a><br>
2) Add hints to get upstream source (have a look inside the actual <a href="http://upstream-tarball.mk" target="_blank">upstream-tarball.mk</a> file, or look at e.g. jackd2 for an example)<br></blockquote><div><br><br>
I skipped this one. To keep it a bit simple for me atm. <br></div></div><br><br>I've asked the upstream author to provide a manpage and desktop file.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>\r<br>
