* Updated to use debhelper v3 when converting packages. This automatically should make it start adding ldconfig calls as appropriate to maintainer scripts. Closes: #86088 * It does mean you need debhelper 3.x for alien to convert to deb now, so alien-extra will need an update. 2001-02-15 23:38:25 +00:00			`Depends: debhelper (>= 3), ${perl:Depends}, rpm (>= 2.4.4-2), dpkg-dev, make, cpio`
* LSB package support. It can generate LSB packages (not guarenteed fully conformant with the LSB), and it can take LSB packages and convert them into other formats. Unlike all the other conversions, lsb packages's dependancy (on lsb) and their package scripts are preserved in the generated packages (when allowed by the target package format). This means your distribution will need to have a package named 'lsb' for the result to be installable. (Debian will have one soon..) * Suggest rpm-lsb, which is the preferred rpm to build lsb packages with. Use it if it's present, plain old rpm otherwise. 2002-02-11 19:19:44 +00:00			`Suggests: patch, bzip2, lsb-rpm`
