Hello, I've been tired of using those lengthy postinst and prerm scripts for the common-lisp-controller in all packages and linking all ASDs to the directories using dh_link. (you always have to change their names and locations in multiple places, if you need to...) So I just wrote a litte debhelper extension that generates automatically the postinst and prerm scripts and puts links appropriately. Currently it only works with Common Lisp source packages, not implementations. You can darcs get (how to [1]) from here[2] and build package a of it to test it. I hope the manpage is sufficient for testing. ;) I have converted two of my not yet released packages to dh-lisp. One [3] is rather simple and served as the minimal requirement, the other [4] has quite some ASD files inside of multiple directory layers. For how the conversion looks, look at the commitdiffs. What still needs to be tested: working on source packages that generate multiple binary packages. So feel free to get me some feedback. :) Just branch one of those nice Darcs repositories and go play with it. What's still to come: support for CL implementation registration. Good evening, good night, ... :-) [1] http://cl-debian.alioth.debian.org/ [2] http://cl-debian.alioth.debian.org/repository/rvb/dh-lisp [3] http://cl-debian.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/darcsweb.cgi?r=cl-yacc;a=summary [4] http://cl-debian.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/darcsweb.cgi?r=clg;a=summary -- René van Bevern -- http://progn.org/
