Debian Build Notes

### some debian environment pieces:
$ cat >>~/.bashrc <<EOF
     DEBEMAIL=your.email.address@example.org
     DEBFULLNAME="Firstname Lastname"
     EOF

### Setup a crystal clean source package, with lower program name and version number
$ svn co https://svn.met.no/kvoss/kvQc2/trunk/kvqc2-0.9.0
$ tar cvf kvqc2-0.9.0.tar kvqc2-0.9.0/
$ gzip kvqc2-0.9.0.tar

### For this sandbox exercise I made up the 0.9.0 version number ... but Debian likes that and needs it!

###Initial debianisation
$ cd  kvqc2-0.9.0/
pak@pak:~/DEBIAN-SANDBOX/kvqc2/kvqc2-0.9.0$ dh_make -f ../kvqc2-0.9.0.tar.gz

Type of package: single binary, multiple binary, library, kernel module or cdbs?

Hit <enter> to confirm: 
Currently there is no top level Makefile. This may require additional tuning.
Done. Please edit the files in the debian/ subdirectory now. You should also
check that the kvqc2 Makefiles install into $DESTDIR and not in / .

Lets look now into the debian directory and see what needs to be done:

pak@pak:~/DEBIAN-SANDBOX/kvqc2/kvqc2-0.9.0$ pwd
/home/pak/DEBIAN-SANDBOX/kvqc2/kvqc2-0.9.0
pak@pak:~/DEBIAN-SANDBOX/kvqc2/kvqc2-0.9.0$ ls debian

How to find what to put in Build-Depends, go to an autobuilt version of kvqc2:

Description: Non-real-time and geo-statistical quality controls.                       
The geo-statistical algorithms will make up the QC2-ROM (space-control) 
 and will rely on: handling of data-sets comprising points from the 
 whole station network of interest, filtering of uncertain values before 
 and after checks, gridding of data and iterative techniques, 
 kriging interpolation and cross-validation, as well as the additional 
 user-defined algorithms performing specific checks on data selected 
 by the QC2-ROM engine in both time and/or space.
