deb builds method?

[eternalsword]

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

ok, here they are. i386 http://www.dipconsultants.com/ubuntu/fe ... _amd64.deb and amd64 http://www.dipconsultants.com/ubuntu/fe ... 1_i386.deb

I use prevu / pbuilder to generate mine, i'm not sure what the 0.5.2 debs are built with, though

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.

The problem is if any weird libraries get built into the package. Pbuilder and prevu solve this by building in a chroot.

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.
