Summary
I'm working on it. So far I've added a folder called debian, and put the following files in it: changelog, compat, control, files, dirs, and rules.
I got it to work using php-cache-lite as a model.
Here's what I setup (in albertlash.dev-48:/usr/share/pbooks/debtest$):
debtest/
debian/
files
nexista-0.2.1/
package.xml
In the debian folder, I also added php-nexista, which contains a DEBIAN folder and essentially the fakeroot, with just usr/share/php/php-nexista at the moment. I still have to make the DEBIAN/control file and the md5sums file.
apt-get install debhelper dh-make-php
dh-make-php
Actually this was a lot easier than I thought:
wget http://pear.nexista.org/get/nexista-0.2.4.tgz dh-make-pear nexista-0.2.4.tgz cd php-nexista-0.2.4/ debian/rules build sudo debian/rules binary
Mentors
To upload to mentors.debian.org, I need .dsc and .changes files, so I ran this:
dpkg-buildpackage -kKEY
the key is available on dev-101 by running:
gpg --list-keys
