Es gibt ein altes Sprichwort auf Latein: »fabricando fit faber« (»Übung macht den Meister«).
It is highly recommended to practice and experiment with all the steps of Debian packaging with simple packages. This chapter provides you with many upstream cases for your practice.
This should also serve as introductory examples for many programing topics.
Bitte beachten Sie, dass Debian ein paar Dinge sehr Ernst nimmt:
Universal OS realized via:
The typical packaging example presented in Kapitel 4, Einfaches Beispiel is the prerequisite for this chapter.
Some details are intentionally left vague in the following sections. Please try to read the pertinent documentation and practice yourself to find them out.

The best source of a packaging example is the current Debian archive itself. Please use the “Debian Code Search” service to find pertinent examples. |
Here is an example of creating a simple Debian package from a zero content source on an empty directory.
This is a good platform to get all the template files without making a mess in the upstream source tree you are working on.
Let’s assume this empty directory to be debhello-0.1.
$ mkdir debhello-0.1 $ tree . └── debhello-0.1 1 directory, 0 files
Let’s generate the maximum amount of template files by specifying the -x4 option.
Let’s also use the “-p debhello -t -u 0.1 -r 1” options to make the missing upstream tarball.
$ debmake -t -p debhello -u 0.1 -r 1 -x4 I: set parameters ... I: debmake -x "4" ... I: creating => debian/control I: creating => debian/copyright I: substituting => /usr/share/debmake/extra0/rules ... I: creating => debian/license-examples/GPL-2.0+ I: substituting => /usr/share/debmake/extra4/BSD-3-Clause I: creating => debian/license-examples/BSD-3-Clause I: substituting => /usr/share/debmake/extra4/Artistic-1.0 I: creating => debian/license-examples/Artistic-1.0 I: $ wrap-and-sort

Now you can copy any of these generated template files in the debhello-0.1/debian/ directory to your package as needed while renaming them as needed.

The generated template files can be made more verbose by invoking the debmake command with the -T option (tutorial mode). |
Here is an example of creating a simple Debian package from a POSIX shell CLI program without its build system.
Let’s assume this upstream tarball to be debhello-0.2.tar.gz.
This type of source has no automated means and files must be installed manually.
$ tar -xzmf debhello-0.2.tar.gz $ cd debhello-0.2 $ sudo cp scripts/hello /bin/hello ...
Let’s get the source and make the Debian package.
Laden Sie debhello-0.2.tar.gz herunter.
$ wget http://www.example.org/download/debhello-0.2.tar.gz ... $ tar -xzmf debhello-0.2.tar.gz $ tree . ├── debhello-0.2 │ ├── LICENSE │ ├── data │ │ ├── hello.desktop │ │ └── hello.png │ ├── man │ │ └── hello.1 │ └── scripts │ └── hello └── debhello-0.2.tar.gz 4 directories, 6 files
Here, the POSIX shell script hello is a very simple one.
hello (v=0.2).
$ cat debhello-0.2/scripts/hello #!/bin/sh -e echo "Hello from the shell!" echo "" echo -n "Type Enter to exit this program: " read X
Here, hello.desktop supports the Desktop Entry Specification.
hello.desktop (v=0.2).
$ cat debhello-0.2/data/hello.desktop [Desktop Entry] Name=Hello Name[fr]=Bonjour Comment=Greetings Comment[fr]=Salutations Type=Application Keywords=hello Exec=hello Terminal=true Icon=hello.png Categories=Utility;
Here, hello.png is the icon graphics file.
Let’s package this with the debmake command. Here, the -b':sh' option is used to specify that the generated binary package is a shell script.
$ cd debhello-0.2 $ debmake -b':sh' I: set parameters I: sanity check of parameters I: pkg="debhello", ver="0.2", rev="1" I: *** start packaging in "debhello-0.2". *** I: provide debhello_0.2.orig.tar.gz for non-native Debian package I: pwd = "/path/to" I: $ ln -sf debhello-0.2.tar.gz debhello_0.2.orig.tar.gz I: pwd = "/path/to/debhello-0.2" I: parse binary package settings: :sh I: binary package=debhello Type=script / Arch=all M-A=foreign ...
Let’s inspect notable template files generated.
The source tree after the basic debmake execution. (v=0.2).

debian/rules (Vorlagendatei, v=0.2):
$ cat debhello-0.2/debian/rules #!/usr/bin/make -f # You must remove unused comment lines for the released package. #export DH_VERBOSE = 1 %: dh $@
This is essentially the standard debian/rules file with the dh command. Since this is the script package, this template debian/rules file has no build flag related contents.
debian/control (Vorlagendatei, v=0.2):
$ cat debhello-0.2/debian/control Source: debhello Section: unknown Priority: optional Maintainer: "Firstname Lastname" <email.address@example.org> Build-Depends: debhelper (>=11~) Standards-Version: 4.1.4 Homepage: <insert the upstream URL, if relevant> Package: debhello Architecture: all Multi-Arch: foreign Depends: ${misc:Depends} Description: auto-generated package by debmake This Debian binary package was auto-generated by the debmake(1) command provided by the debmake package.
Since this is the shell script package, the debmake command sets “Architecture: all” and “Multi-Arch: foreign”. Also, it sets required substvar parameters as “Depends: ${misc:Depends}”. These are explained in Kapitel 5, Grundlagen.
Since this upstream source lacks the upstream Makefile, that functionality needs to be provided by the maintainer. This upstream source contains only a script file and data files and no C source files; the build process can be skipped but the install process needs to be implemented. For this case, this is achieved cleanly by adding the debian/install and debian/manpages files without complicating the debian/rules file.
Let’s make this Debian package better as the maintainer.
debian/rules (Betreuerversion, v=0.2):
$ vim debhello-0.2/debian/rules ... hack, hack, hack, ... $ cat debhello-0.2/debian/rules #!/usr/bin/make -f export DH_VERBOSE = 1 %: dh $@
debian/control (Betreuerversion, v=0.2):

The generated Debian package uses the dh command offered by the debhelper package and the dpkg source format `3.0 (quilt)'.

You can create a non-native Debian package using the debuild command (or its equivalents) in this source tree. The command output is very verbose and explains what it does as follows.
$ cd debhello-0.2 $ debuild dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -ui -i ... fakeroot debian/rules clean dh clean ... debian/rules build dh build dh_update_autotools_config dh_autoreconf create-stamp debian/debhelper-build-stamp fakeroot debian/rules binary dh binary dh_testroot dh_prep rm -f -- debian/debhello.substvars rm -fr -- debian/.debhelper/generated/debhello/ debian/debhello/ debi... ... fakeroot debian/rules binary dh binary ...

Here is an example of creating a simple Debian package from a POSIX shell CLI program using the Makefile as its build system.
Let’s assume its upstream tarball to be debhello-1.0.tar.gz.
This type of source is meant to be installed as a non-system file as:
$ tar -xzmf debhello-1.0.tar.gz $ cd debhello-1.0 $ make install
Debian packaging requires changing this “make install” process to install files to the target system image location instead of the normal location under /usr/local.
Let’s get the source and make the Debian package.
Laden Sie debhello-1.0.tar.gz herunter.
$ wget http://www.example.org/download/debhello-1.0.tar.gz ... $ tar -xzmf debhello-1.0.tar.gz $ tree . ├── debhello-1.0 │ ├── LICENSE │ ├── Makefile │ ├── data │ │ ├── hello.desktop │ │ └── hello.png │ ├── man │ │ └── hello.1 │ └── scripts │ └── hello └── debhello-1.0.tar.gz 4 directories, 7 files
Here, the Makefile uses $(DESTDIR) and $(prefix) properly. All other files are the same as in Abschnitt 8.2, „Kein Makefile (Shell, CLI)“ and most of the packaging activities are the same.
Makefile (v=1.0).
$ cat debhello-1.0/Makefile prefix = /usr/local all: : # do nothing install: install -D scripts/hello \ $(DESTDIR)$(prefix)/bin/hello install -m 644 -D data/hello.desktop \ $(DESTDIR)$(prefix)/share/applications/hello.desktop install -m 644 -D data/hello.png \ $(DESTDIR)$(prefix)/share/pixmaps/hello.png install -m 644 -D man/hello.1 \ $(DESTDIR)$(prefix)/share/man/man1/hello.1 clean: : # do nothing distclean: clean uninstall: -rm -f $(DESTDIR)$(prefix)/bin/hello -rm -f $(DESTDIR)$(prefix)/share/applications/hello.desktop -rm -f $(DESTDIR)$(prefix)/share/pixmaps/hello.png -rm -f $(DESTDIR)$(prefix)/share/man/man1/hello.1 .PHONY: all install clean distclean uninstall
Let’s package this with the debmake command. Here, the -b':sh' option is used to specify that the generated binary package is a shell script.

Let’s inspect the notable template files generated.
debian/rules (Vorlagendatei, v=1.0):

Since this upstream source has the proper upstream Makefile, there is no need to create debian/install and debian/manpages files.
The debian/control file is exactly the same as the one in Abschnitt 8.2, „Kein Makefile (Shell, CLI)“.
There are several other template files under the debian/ directory. These also need to be updated.

The rest of the packaging activities are practically the same as the ones in Abschnitt 8.2, „Kein Makefile (Shell, CLI)“.
Here is an example of creating a simple Debian package from a Python3 CLI program using setup.py as its build system.
Let’s assume its upstream tarball to be debhello-1.1.tar.gz.
This type of source is meant to be installed as a non-system file as:
$ tar -xzmf debhello-1.1.tar.gz $ cd debhello-1.1 $ python3 setup.py install
Debian packaging requires changing the last line to “python3 setup.py install --install-layout=deb” to install files into the target system image location. This issue is automatically addressed when using the dh command for Debian packaging.
Let’s get the source and make the Debian package.
Laden Sie debhello-1.1.tar.gz herunter.
$ wget http://www.example.org/download/debhello-1.1.tar.gz ... $ tar -xzmf debhello-1.1.tar.gz $ tree . ├── debhello-1.1 │ ├── LICENSE │ ├── MANIFEST.in │ ├── PKG-INFO │ ├── hello_py │ │ └── __init__.py │ ├── scripts │ │ └── hello │ └── setup.py └── debhello-1.1.tar.gz 3 directories, 7 files
Here, the hello script and its associated hello_py module are as follows.
hello (v=1.1).
$ cat debhello-1.1/scripts/hello #!/usr/bin/python3 import hello_py if __name__ == '__main__': hello_py.main()
hello_py/__init__.py (v=1.1).
$ cat debhello-1.1/hello_py/__init__.py #!/usr/bin/python3 def main(): print('Hello Python3!') input("Press Enter to continue...") return if __name__ == '__main__': main()
These are packaged using the Python distutils with the setup.py and MANIFEST.in files.

$ cat debhello-1.1/setup.py #!/usr/bin/python3 # vi:se ts=4 sts=4 et ai: from distutils.core import setup setup(name='debhello', version='4.0', description='Hello Python', long_description='Hello Python program.', author='Osamu Aoki', author_email='osamu@debian.org', url='http://people.debian.org/~osamu/', packages=['hello_py'], package_dir={'hello_py': 'hello_py'}, scripts=['scripts/hello'], classifiers = ['Development Status :: 3 - Alpha', 'Environment :: Console', 'Intended Audience :: Developers', 'License :: OSI Approved :: MIT License', 'Natural Language :: English', 'Operating System :: POSIX :: Linux', 'Programming Language :: Python :: 3', 'Topic :: Utilities', ], platforms = 'POSIX', license = 'MIT License' )

---|---|
Many modern Python packages are distributed using setuptools. Since setuptools is an enhanced alternative to distutils, this example is useful for them. |
Let’s package this with the debmake command. Here, the -b':py3' option is used to specify the generated binary package containing Python3 script and module files.
$ cd debhello-1.1 $ debmake -b':py3' I: set parameters I: sanity check of parameters I: pkg="debhello", ver="1.1", rev="1" I: *** start packaging in "debhello-1.1". *** I: provide debhello_1.1.orig.tar.gz for non-native Debian package I: pwd = "/path/to" I: $ ln -sf debhello-1.1.tar.gz debhello_1.1.orig.tar.gz I: pwd = "/path/to/debhello-1.1" I: parse binary package settings: :py3 I: binary package=debhello Type=python3 / Arch=all M-A=foreign ...
Let’s inspect the notable template files generated.
debian/rules (Vorlagendatei, v=1.1):
$ cat debhello-1.1/debian/rules #!/usr/bin/make -f # You must remove unused comment lines for the released package. #export DH_VERBOSE = 1 %: dh $@ --with python3 --buildsystem=pybuild
This is essentially the standard debian/rules file with the dh command.
The use of the “--with python3” option invokes dh_python3 to calculate Python dependencies, add maintainer scripts to byte compiled files, etc. See dh_python3(1).
The use of the “--buildsystem=pybuild” option invokes various build systems for requested Python versions in order to build modules and extensions. See pybuild(1).

Let’s package this with the debmake command. Here, the -b':py3' option is used to specify that the generated binary package contains Python3 script and module files.
$ cd debhello-1.3 $ debmake -b':py3' I: set parameters I: sanity check of parameters I: pkg="debhello", ver="1.3", rev="1" I: *** start packaging in "debhello-1.3". *** I: provide debhello_1.3.orig.tar.gz for non-native Debian package I: pwd = "/path/to" I: $ ln -sf debhello-1.3.tar.gz debhello_1.3.orig.tar.gz I: pwd = "/path/to/debhello-1.3" I: parse binary package settings: :py3 I: binary package=debhello Type=python3 / Arch=all M-A=foreign ...
The result is practically the same as in Abschnitt 8.4, „setup.py (Python3, CLI)“.
Let’s make this Debian package better as the maintainer.

Please note the manually added python3-gi and gir1.2-gtk-3.0 dependencies.
Since this upstream source has a manpage and other files with matching entries in the setup.py file, there is no need to create them and add the debian/install and debian/manpages files that were required in Abschnitt 8.4, „setup.py (Python3, CLI)“.

Here is an example of creating a simple Debian package from a simple C source program using the Makefile as its build system.
This is an enhanced upstream source example for Kapitel 4, Einfaches Beispiel. This comes with the manpage, the desktop file, and the desktop icon. This also links to an external library libm to be a more practical example.
Let’s assume this upstream tarball to be debhello-1.4.tar.gz.
This type of source is meant to be installed as a non-system file as:
$ tar -xzmf debhello-1.4.tar.gz $ cd debhello-1.4 $ make $ make install
Debian packaging requires changing this “make install” process to install files into the target system image location instead of the normal location under /usr/local.
Let’s get the source and make the Debian package.
Laden Sie debhello-1.4.tar.gz herunter.

Please note that this Makefile has the proper install target for the manpage, the desktop file, and the desktop icon.
Let’s package this with the debmake command.
$ cd debhello-1.4 $ debmake I: set parameters I: sanity check of parameters I: pkg="debhello", ver="1.4", rev="1" I: *** start packaging in "debhello-1.4". *** I: provide debhello_1.4.orig.tar.gz for non-native Debian package I: pwd = "/path/to" I: $ ln -sf debhello-1.4.tar.gz debhello_1.4.orig.tar.gz I: pwd = "/path/to/debhello-1.4" I: parse binary package settings: I: binary package=debhello Type=bin / Arch=any M-A=foreign ...
The result is practically the same as in Abschnitt 4.5, „Schritt 2: Mit Debmake erstellte Vorlagendateien“.
Let’s make this Debian package, which is practically the same as in Abschnitt 4.6, „Schritt 3: Anpassung der Vorlagendateien“, better as the maintainer.
If the DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS environment variable is not exported in debian/rules, lintian warns "W: debhello: hardening-no-relro usr/bin/hello" for the linking of libm.
The debian/control file makes it exactly the same as the one in Abschnitt 4.6, „Schritt 3: Anpassung der Vorlagendateien“, since the libm library is always available as a part of libc6 (Priority: required).
There are several other template files under the debian/ directory. These also need to be updated.

Here is an example of creating a simple Debian package from a simple C source program using Makefile.in and configure as its build system.
This is an enhanced upstream source example for Abschnitt 8.7, „Makefile (Paket mit einem Programm)“. This also links to an external library, libm, and this source is configurable using arguments to the configure script, which generates the Makefile and src/config.h files.
Nehmen wir an, dass der Tarball der Originalautoren debhello-1.5.tar.gz ist.
This type of source is meant to be installed as a non-system file, for example, as:
$ tar -xzmf debhello-1.5.tar.gz $ cd debhello-1.5 $ ./configure --with-math $ make $ make install
Let’s get the source and make the Debian package.
Laden Sie debhello-1.5.tar.gz herunter.

Please note that the configure command replaces strings with @…@ in Makefile.in to produce Makefile and creates src/config.h.
Let’s package this with the debmake command.
$ cd debhello-1.5 $ debmake I: set parameters I: sanity check of parameters I: pkg="debhello", ver="1.5", rev="1" I: *** start packaging in "debhello-1.5". *** I: provide debhello_1.5.orig.tar.gz for non-native Debian package I: pwd = "/path/to" I: $ ln -sf debhello-1.5.tar.gz debhello_1.5.orig.tar.gz I: pwd = "/path/to/debhello-1.5" I: parse binary package settings: I: binary package=debhello Type=bin / Arch=any M-A=foreign ...
Das Ergebnis ist ähnlich zu Abschnitt 4.5, „Schritt 2: Mit Debmake erstellte Vorlagendateien“, aber nicht exakt identisch.
Let’s inspect the notable template files generated.
debian/rules (Vorlagendatei, v=1.5):
$ cat debhello-1.5/debian/rules #!/usr/bin/make -f # You must remove unused comment lines for the released package. #export DH_VERBOSE = 1 #export DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS = hardening=+all #export DEB_CFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND = -Wall -pedantic #export DEB_LDFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND = -Wl,--as-needed %: dh $@
Let’s make this Debian package better as the maintainer.
debian/rules (Betreuerversion, v=1.5):
$ vim debhello-1.5/debian/rules ... hack, hack, hack, ... $ cat debhello-1.5/debian/rules #!/usr/bin/make -f export DH_VERBOSE = 1 export DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS = hardening=+all export DEB_CFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND = -Wall -pedantic export DEB_LDFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND = -Wl,--as-needed %: dh $@ override_dh_auto_configure: dh_auto_configure -- \ --with-math \ --author="Osamu Aoki"
There are several other template files under the debian/ directory. These also need to be updated.
The rest of the packaging activities are practically the same as the one in Abschnitt 4.7, „Schritt 4: Paketbau mit debuild“.
Here is an example of creating a simple Debian package from a simple C source program using Autotools = Autoconf and Automake (Makefile.am and configure.ac) as its build system. See Abschnitt 5.16.1, „Autotools“.
This source usually comes with the upstream auto-generated Makefile.in and configure files, too. This source can be packaged using these files as in Abschnitt 8.8, „Makefile.in + configure (Paket mit einem Programm)“ with the help of the autotools-dev package.
The better alternative is to regenerate these files using the latest Autoconf and Automake packages if the upstream provided Makefile.am and configure.ac are compatible with the latest version. This is advantageous for porting to new CPU architectures, etc. This can be automated by using the “--with autoreconf” option for the dh command.
Let’s assume this upstream tarball to be debhello-1.6.tar.gz.
This type of source is meant to be installed as a non-system file, for example, as:
$ tar -xzmf debhello-1.6.tar.gz $ cd debhello-1.6 $ autoreconf -ivf # optional $ ./configure --with-math $ make $ make install
Let’s get the source and make the Debian package.

Without “foreign” strictness level specified in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE() as above, automake defaults to “gnu” strictness level requiring several files in the top-level directory. See “3.2 Strictness” in the automake document. |
Let’s package this with the debmake command.

Here is an example of creating a simple Debian package from a simple C source program using CMake (CMakeLists.txt and some files such as config.h.in) as its build system. See Abschnitt 5.16.2, „CMake“.
The cmake command generates the Makefile file based on the CMakeLists.txt file and its -D option. It also configures the file as specified in its configure_file(…) by replacing strings with @…@ and changing the #cmakedefine … line.

Let’s package this in the same way as in Abschnitt 8.9, „Autotools (Paket mit einem Programm)“.
Let’s assume this upstream tarball to be debhello-2.0.tar.gz.
This type of source is meant to be installed as a non-system file, for example, as:
$ tar -xzmf debhello-2.0.tar.gz $ cd debhello-2.0 $ autoreconf -ivf # optional $ ./configure --with-math $ make $ make install
Let’s get the source and make the Debian package.
Download debhello-2.0.tar.gz.
$ wget http://www.example.org/download/debhello-2.0.tar.gz ... $ tar -xzmf debhello-2.0.tar.gz $ tree . ├── debhello-2.0 │ ├── Makefile.am │ ├── configure.ac │ ├── data │ │ ├── hello.desktop │ │ └── hello.png │ ├── lib │ │ ├── Makefile.am │ │ ├── sharedlib.c │ │ └── sharedlib.h │ ├── man │ │ ├── Makefile.am │ │ └── hello.1 │ └── src │ ├── Makefile.am │ └── hello.c └── debhello-2.0.tar.gz 5 directories, 12 files
Here, the contents of this source are as follows.

$ cat debhello-2.0/lib/sharedlib.h int sharedlib(); $ cat debhello-2.0/lib/sharedlib.c #include <stdio.h> int sharedlib() { printf("This is a shared library!\n"); return 0; }

Let’s package this with the debmake command into multiple packages:
Here, the -b',libsharedlib1,libsharedlib-dev' option is used to specify the generated binary packages.
$ cd debhello-2.0 $ debmake -b',libsharedlib1,libsharedlib-dev' I: set parameters I: sanity check of parameters I: pkg="debhello", ver="2.0", rev="1" I: *** start packaging in "debhello-2.0". *** I: provide debhello_2.0.orig.tar.gz for non-native Debian package I: pwd = "/path/to" I: $ ln -sf debhello-2.0.tar.gz debhello_2.0.orig.tar.gz I: pwd = "/path/to/debhello-2.0" I: parse binary package settings: ,libsharedlib1,libsharedlib-dev I: binary package=debhello Type=bin / Arch=any M-A=foreign I: binary package=libsharedlib1 Type=lib / Arch=any M-A=same I: binary package=libsharedlib-dev Type=dev / Arch=any M-A=same I: analyze the source tree I: build_type = Autotools with autoreconf ...
The result is similar to Abschnitt 8.8, „Makefile.in + configure (Paket mit einem Programm)“ but with more template files.
Let’s inspect the notable template files generated.
debian/rules (Vorlagendatei, v=2.0):
$ cat debhello-2.0/debian/rules #!/usr/bin/make -f # You must remove unused comment lines for the released package. #export DH_VERBOSE = 1 #export DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS = hardening=+all #export DEB_CFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND = -Wall -pedantic #export DEB_LDFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND = -Wl,--as-needed %: dh $@ --with autoreconf #override_dh_install: # dh_install --list-missing -X.la -X.pyc -X.pyo

There are several other template files under the debian/ directory. These also need to be updated.

Here is an example of updating the simple upstream C source debhello-2.0.tar.gz presented in Abschnitt 8.11, „Autotools (Paket mit mehreren Programmen)“ for internationalization (i18n) and creating the updated upstream C source debhello-2.0.tar.gz.
In the real situation, the package should already be internationalized. So this example is educational for you to understand how this internationalization is implemented.

$ xgettext -f po/POTFILES.in -d debhello -o po/debhello.pot -k_ $ cat po/debhello.pot # SOME DESCRIPTIVE TITLE. # Copyright (C) YEAR THE PACKAGE'S COPYRIGHT HOLDER # This file is distributed under the same license as the PACKAGE package. # FIRST AUTHOR <EMAIL@ADDRESS>, YEAR. # #, fuzzy msgid "" msgstr "" "Project-Id-Version: PACKAGE VERSION\n" "Report-Msgid-Bugs-To: \n" "POT-Creation-Date: 2019-03-26 17:03+0000\n" "PO-Revision-Date: YEAR-MO-DA HO:MI+ZONE\n" "Last-Translator: FULL NAME <EMAIL@ADDRESS>\n" "Language-Team: LANGUAGE <LL@li.org>\n" "Language: \n" "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=CHARSET\n" "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n" #: src/hello.c:8 #, c-format msgid "Hello, I am " msgstr "" #: lib/sharedlib.c:6 #, c-format msgid "This is a shared library!\n" msgstr "" #: data/hello.desktop.in:3 msgid "Hello" msgstr "" #: data/hello.desktop.in:4 msgid "Greetings" msgstr "" #: data/hello.desktop.in:6 msgid "hello" msgstr "" #: data/hello.desktop.in:9 msgid "hello.png" msgstr ""
Let’s add a translation for French.
po/LINGUAS and po/fr.po (i18n):
$ echo 'fr' > po/LINGUAS $ cp po/debhello.pot po/fr.po $ vim po/fr.po ... hack, hack, hack, ... $ cat po/fr.po # SOME DESCRIPTIVE TITLE. # This file is put in the public domain. # FIRST AUTHOR <EMAIL@ADDRESS>, YEAR. # msgid "" msgstr "" "Project-Id-Version: debhello 2.2\n" "Report-Msgid-Bugs-To: foo@example.org\n" "POT-Creation-Date: 2015-03-01 20:22+0900\n" "PO-Revision-Date: 2015-02-21 23:18+0900\n" "Last-Translator: Osamu Aoki <osamu@debian.org>\n" "Language-Team: French <LL@li.org>\n" "Language: ja\n" "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n" "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n" #: src/hello.c:34 #, c-format msgid "Hello, my name is %s!\n" msgstr "Bonjour, je m'appelle %s!\n" #: lib/sharedlib.c:29 #, c-format msgid "This is a shared library!\n" msgstr "Ceci est une bibliothèque partagée!\n" #: data/hello.desktop.in:3 msgid "Hello" msgstr "" #: data/hello.desktop.in:4 msgid "Greetings" msgstr "Salutations" #: data/hello.desktop.in:6 msgid "hello" msgstr "" #: data/hello.desktop.in:9 msgid "hello.png" msgstr ""
The packaging activities are practically the same as the one in Abschnitt 8.11, „Autotools (Paket mit mehreren Programmen)“.
You can find more i18n examples in Abschnitt 8.14, „Details“ for
Actual details of the examples presented and their variants can be obtained by the following.
How to get details.
$ apt-get source debmake-doc $ sudo apt-get install devscripts build-essentials $ cd debmake-doc* $ sudo apt-get build-dep ./ $ make
Each directory with the -pkg[0-9] suffix contains the Debian packaging example.
