Adding non-package, system data files

Question

Adding non-package, system data files

robshep opened this issue 4 years ago · comments

Hi,

I'm struggling to find where to place, or how to include system files.
For example I have this <package>.install file

etc/mypkg.uwsgi.ini /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled
etc/default_config.json /var/lib/mypkg.default.json

However, the rules file sets the source directory to be: debian/mypkg-$VERSION and so these files are not picked up by dh_install

My layout is from using this: https://github.com/Springerle/dh-virtualenv-mold
which looks different to: https://github.com/1and1/debianized-sentry
(I've tried to align with the latter without success)

As a debian packaging newbie, I cannot fathom how to hook into the build system to move files around.
Any pointers on how to get this going would be very appreciated.

Thanks

Provide a link to your repo, else this is reading tea leafs.

Sorry that’s not clear enough. Well I have an internal package, so please let me make a test case. In summary, I can’t find a way to include other files that must be installed as part of the package. E.g. something for /etc I’ll post a thinned test case. Thanks Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>

Small test case.

A reduced fileset from our internal package.

Q. how to include ./etc/uwsgi.ini into package as per debian/dhv-299.install

well, your manifest does not include etc, so it is not copied via a source package.

Easy when you know how ;)
