Creating debian package
 

Hi All,

I wrote a hello world loadable module and tried to pack it as a .deb package. While trying to do so, I came across some technique that were applicable to userland applications.

Is there any way to pack a loadable module in to .deb package?

Thanks

There are python scripts to help build more complex debian packages. But it isn't magic. The computer doesn't know what you are thinking. If you want a debian package to compile, install and load a module, you have to write a preinst script that tells the computer what you want it to do. You can also look here: http://search.cpan.org/~asksh/Module...Debian.pm#NAME

Thank you AwesomeMachine. What I wanted to know is that it is possible to load a driver module by means of a .deb package. From your answer, I get that it is possible.

I will search more in this and let you know if i get any thing.

Thanks again!!

NOTE:
I guess you know the difference between installing a loadable module and user applications.
