- Subject: Package making guidelines question
When a packager follows a pseudo-"Method 2" approach, using a home-grown
script not based on generic-build-script, how closely must the naming and
behaviour of the script follow the official template?
What degree of automation is required in terms of setup?
Do we require that the included script be capable of rebuilding the packages
entirely by itself, or is it permissible to require manual tar, patch, etc.,
commands first?
Max.
