Any debian packagers in the house?

[Richard Shaw]

I'm working on packaging OpenColorIO for Fedora and they have a few
bundled libraries which need to be un-bundled. Their main concern is
this an industrial program that's been used in post-processing of real
movies and the results need to be predictable so they are willing to
un-bundle said libraries but with the condition that appropriate unit
tests are created and used during building to ensure everything works
as intended.

In rpm land, I just add a %check section and run the tests. A non-zero
exit from that section fails the build. My question is: Is there an
debian/ubuntu equivalent to that?

Thanks,
Richard

Richard, given the source, I could package this for you.  x86, x64 and Sparc :)

Thanks for the offer! However, I'm not sure if you noticed the date of my original email :)

It looks like someone has taken up the task:

Gah! :) Ok, I did notice the date of the original mail, actually :)
But, thought I would give it a shot anyway :) Currently I am the
"unofficial" packager for the Debian Sparc port of Subsurface, which is
a dive logging application (that also has OS/X and Windoze ports available).

I realize this is an old thread but I figured I'd share this tool for those who are interested. I refuse to make debs by hand anymore. FPM "just works" for doing the heavy lifting of packaging for me these days.

Hope someone finds it helpful. :)

Yeah, checkinstall is a great utility, too :)
