deb builds method?
When you guys generate the deb files are you using checkinstall, dpkg-buildpackage, or something different? In other words, would it be possible for someone wanting to maintain debs for trunk to do so easily at this point in time?

I would love a 0.5.2 .deb

I use prevu / pbuilder to generate mine, i'm not sure what the 0.5.2 debs are built with, thougheternalsword wrote:When you guys generate the deb files are you using checkinstall, dpkg-buildpackage, or something different?

i use dpkg-buildpackage (which is what 0.5.2 is made from)...as far as i'm concerned, it's the best method to build a true deb package.zachtib wrote:I use prevu / pbuilder to generate mine, i'm not sure what the 0.5.2 debs are built with, thougheternalsword wrote:When you guys generate the deb files are you using checkinstall, dpkg-buildpackage, or something different?

Re: deb builds method?
The problem is if any weird libraries get built into the package. Pbuilder and prevu solve this by building in a chroot.markybob wrote:i use dpkg-buildpackage (which is what 0.5.2 is made from)...as far as i'm concerned, it's the best method to build a true deb package.zachtib wrote:I use prevu / pbuilder to generate mine, i'm not sure what the 0.5.2 debs are built with, thougheternalsword wrote:When you guys generate the deb files are you using checkinstall, dpkg-buildpackage, or something different?

I'll probably build some prevu'ed packages and upload them soon.
EDIT: Prevu'ed packages are uploaded and available from the downloads page

fyi, i use chroot with dpkg-buildpackage, so it's not a problem. in fact that's how i make both amd64 and i386 packages on the same machine.zachtib wrote:The problem is if any weird libraries get built into the package. Pbuilder and prevu solve this by building in a chroot.
