building a debian package

[Renato Serodio]

Hello there!

So, I've finally managed to compile my minisip copy out of SVN. Now, I
need to run it.. I'd like to run it now, but the binary that goes into
'install' eventually segfaults, probably because I didn't actually
call 'install' to deploy on the system..

Well, I didn't install it because I tend to forget I did - and it's a
pain cleaning the mess for a fresh installation.

As it appears, the code ships with the debianizing instructions :)
Now, I tried running ./build.pl packages minisip, but I get the reply:

 ./build.pl packages minisip
packages: libmutil libmcrypto libmnetutil libmikey libmsip libmstun
libminisip minisip
No changes file found at
/home/rdrs/src/minisip/trunk/build.d/dist/debian/dist.pl line 238.
Changes not found: /home/rdrs/src/minisip/trunk/build/build-area/debian/libmutil

So I tried
 ./build.pl dist+packages minisip, which spat out:
<snip>
No changes file found at
/home/rdrs/src/minisip/trunk/build.d/dist/debian/dist.pl line 238.
Changes not found: /home/rdrs/src/minisip/trunk/build/build-area/debian/libmutil

I'll own: I'm not fully grasping the workings of the build.pl script.
Would anyone care to lend a hand?

Cheers,

Renato
