This article was first written in September 2004 for the BeezNest technical
website (http://glasnost.beeznest.org/articles/168).
For the moment, no official
XAMS binary package exist. You have then to play a bit with the Subversion repository.
So, update or export your
xams-0.0.x and
xams-0.0.x-debian repositories.
Done? Ok, let's continue then.
Copy your
xams-0.0.x directory to another name, like
xams-0.0.15+svn20040908 for example:
$ cp -ar xams-0.0.x/ xams-0.0.15+svn20040908/
Then, copy the
debian subdirectory from your
xams-0.0.x-debian directory to your newly-created one (
xams-0.0.15+svn20040908
).
$ cp -ar xams-0.0.x-debian/debian/ xams-0.0.15+svn20040908/
Copy then the
autogen.conf preconfigured for Debian.
$ cp xams-0.0.x-debian/autogen.conf xams-0.0.15+svn20040908/
Install the latest build-dependencies (see list in the
debian/control file).
Enter the newly-created directory and modify the version number of the last entry of
debian/changelog as well as the maintainer's line. Issue a debuild in the directory.
$ cd xams-0.0.15+svn20040908/
$ vi debian/changelog
$ debuild
It should build without problems.
