I downloaded the source from samba, and changed the smb.conf

Then I made a dsc file from it.
How do I create a deb file from a dsc file or from the extracted source???

Thanks

or

http://www.google.com/search?q=creating+a+deb+package

u could do it with checkinstall , when u compile a program just type :
./configure
make
checkinstall

here is its site if u dont have it : http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/

or u could just type : apt-get install checkinstall

this is the story;

I'm creating an internal apt-server (this works)
The next thing I want to do is change the configuration files from the packages, and put them (in a deb file) on the apt-server.

For example: the smb.conf from samba

This means I can install my servers much faster.

Does anyone know a simple way to ajust the deb packages??

Please!!

Cybercool

Download src deb from debian
3 files dsc tar.gz diff

dpkg-source -x samba.dsc

cd samba and change smb.conf

fakeroot debian/rules binary

This give the deb file

I can't do fakeroot /debain/rules binary
it's says "no such file or directory"

And when I extract the dsc file, I get many directory's with sub directory's with 3 thimes debian with the smb.conf file.

Wich one must I change.
And in wich directory must I be to do "fakeroot /debian/rules binary"

Thank!!!

Cybercool

//edit

I solved this but now I get an error,

make: dh_testdir: command not found
make: *** [patch-stamp] Error 127

Does anyone know what this is and how to solve this?

apt-get install fakeroot
apt-get install debhelper

Yes it works!!
Thanks

But I got only one stupid question, in wich directory is the deb package now??

I can't find it!!!

cd ..

huh this is weard.

When I just installen debhelper, it worked.
But i could find the package.
And after youre last post I looked again, but there's no package.

And now it also don't work anymore.
I get an error making a package:
make: *** [comfigure-stamp] Error 1

Do you know what that is???

//edit
I installed g++-3.0 and i don't get this error anymore but, now I get an other error after i do:
fakeroot debian/rules binary

configure: error: summary failure. Aborting config
make: *** [configure-stamp] Error 1


Does anyone know this error??

Look at the file debian/control and check
Build-Depend
You must have all depended packets been installed.

And do you know wich packages that are?

Because I don't really understand what youre saying.

P.s. Thanks for your help!!

Sorry for my english.
This dsc file.
Look at "Build-Depends:" string.
You must install all packets described in this string before building samba.
Understand ?

So you mean that I must install all the build-depend packages on my debian system, and than it can create the package?

But if I wan't to create an other package (proftpd).
How do I know wich build-depend proftpd needs??
Can you explain how you got that build-depend file??

Cybercool

p.s. Youre helping really good, thank you


//edit

I have tried to install all the build-depends
I could almost install them all!!
And the "fakeroot debian/rules binary" works better now, but now I get an other error:

(make[1]: *** No rule to make target '@LIBSMBCLIENT_STATIC@', needed by 'all'. S top.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/root/samba/-2.2.3a/source'
make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2)

Do you know what this can be???

>>Cybercool

yes. Samba source code depend on all this packages.
Samba have no dependencies on proftpd
