#243491 — Packaging help: users and directories

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hi all,

Where are some good examples to read about adding a user and group, a
systemd service file, a /etc/default file and creating a
/var/lib/sentrypeer directory to hold an sqlite db file?

Just look at official packages? I've read

This is for:

https://github.com/SentryPeer/SentryPeer

and I've started here:

https://github.com/SentryPeer/SentryPeer/tree/debian-packaging/debian

Thanks for reading,
Gavin.

Hi,

(I reply assuming you seek packaging help, because that appears in
your subject, even though you don't mention that in your message)

There is another mailing list specifically for packaging questions:
  https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/

That list is described here:
  https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMentorsFaq#What_is_the_debian-mentors_mailing_list_for.3F
By the way, where that wiki text says "Debian development",
that certainly includes packaging work.

I think that mailing list will be a good place for you ask your question
again, because it exists mostly for the purpose of Debian developers
to give high-quality answers to packaging questions.

Whereas there are relatively few developers on this list, debian-user.
This list basically exists to segregate user questions away from distracting
developers from their work, so they are not very active here, so asking your
question here does not really find the target audience that you need for
good answers.

Thanks. I think Google gave me this one first, but it was quite daunting
for a beginner. It will make more sense now 3rd time round I think since
I've read the tutorials.

There is also http://codesearch.debian.net/ which let you search the

Cool. Perfect.

There is also a package "hello" which is intended to show how to package
things. So getting its source and looking around might be helpful, too.

Thanks!

I've managed to build it. Just going through debuild now to clean up
lintian issues and pbuilder.

Suprisingly enjoyable!

I've emailed the VoIP packaging group to see if I can help now that I know
more. I'd like to look after the libosip2 package too.

Gavin.

Also have a look here:
https://wiki.debian.org/Packaging

There is also http://codesearch.debian.net/ which let you search the 
packages.
