dpkg-raw and debian/rules

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 744 bytes --]

I am trying to make a package using dpkg-raw, because I don't need to 
compile anything... but I would like to add a hook to the rules.  Is there 
a good way to do this, or will I need to provide the entire debian/ 
directory?

What I am actually trying to accomplish is a call to add with 
update-alternatives.  Is there a builtin way to do this already, by chance?

thanks,
   stephen

dpkg-raw used this:

https://github.com/ilbers/isar/blob/master/doc/user_manual.md#compilation-of-sources-missing-the-debian-directory
("Create rules file if sources does not contain a rules file")

What we are missing in our docs is a link from
https://github.com/ilbers/isar/blob/master/doc/user_manual.md#packages-without-source
to the debianize mechanism.

However, update-alternatives is a postinst topic, nothing for rules as
the latter runs during package build while you want something after
package installation.

Where would I put and/or reference the package maintainer scripts in the
recipe to dpkg-raw?

Hello Stephen,

As dpkg-raw packages use deb_debianize logic, you can just create a script
named "postinst" (or postrm/preinst/prerm if also needed) in /files and 
add it
to your recipe's SRC_URI list. Then it should be included into resulting 
deb.
