Here I use dh_make. But for simple packages it is best to use equivs !

= Description =

create a package containing one file. Here a pdf file.
if you have trouble see [[HenriLeFoll/Tricks/Packaging/Trivial]]

= Details =

== step 1 : create the source package and build it ==

  * 1 - create a directory for the package : package-trivial-1.1

  * 2 - put  a file in the directory : package-trivial.pdf or another name

  * 3 - create the source package with [[dh_make]]  -s -n

  * 4 - remove all the files which can be removed from the debian directory

  * 5 - modify the files in the debian directory 

  * 6 - build the package with [[dpkg-buildpackage]] -rfakeroot


== step 2 : test it with lintian ==

  * 7 - test it with lintian

  * 8 - install the package

  * 9 - find the file :package-trivial.pdf

= Solution =

== step 1 : create the source package and build it ==



 * 2 - put  a file in the directory : package-trivial.pdf or another name

{{{#!highlight console numbers=disable

$package-trivial-1.1$ ls

package-trivial.pdf

}}}

  * 4 - remove all the files which can be removed from the debian directory



{{{#!highlight console numbers=disable

$package-trivial-1.1/debian$ rm -fr *.ex *.EX R*

}}}


  * 5 - modify the files in the debian directory 

{{{#!highlight console numbers=disable

$package-trivial-1.1/debian$ more docs 

package-trivial.pdf

}}}


== step 2 : test it with lintian ==

  * 9 - find the file :package-trivial.pdf

  it should be in /usr/share/doc/package-trivial
