The peless package is a package that builds debian and ubuntu versions. I did not follow the method described in: http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/Deb_builds according to that document I needed to create: Minimum set of files required to create .deb In order to create a .deb package successfully, you have to create at least these files: packageName.dsc debian.changelog debian.control debian.rules Instead I used the debian method of creating a debian source package. I uploaded the 3 debian files X.dsc, X.diff.gx, and X.orig.tar.gz and build. To make it work I had to add build-essential to the Build-Depends: line. According to the debian policy manual I should not have to do this, but I had to to make it build under the build-service. I created a bug in bugzilla because of this. -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-1096 pelliott@BlackPatchPanel.com PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.io.com/~pelliott/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117
