Details on this package are located in Section 6.7.2, “Contents of LFS Dpkg Wrapper.”
The LFS Dpkg Wrapper provides a script to automate the tasks involved in creating a deb package archive.
Repeating the packaging commands from the previous section for every package would quickly become repetitive, and distract the reader from the actual build process. Therefore, this section will create a wrapper script to automate the process.
Create a version of the script which will be able to run using the install image:
make PREFIX=$(pwd)/debian/tmp/tools mv -v buildpkg buildpkg.tmp make clean
Install the package into a temporary directory:
make install DESTDIR=$(pwd)/debian/tmp PREFIX=/tools \
USE_TOOLS_SCRIPTS=1
The meaning of the make parameters:
PREFIX=/tools
This tells the Makefile to generate an install image with the scripts in /tools instead of /usr.
USE_TOOLS_SCRIPTS=1
This tells the Makefile to use the package fixup scripts for packages from this chapter installing contents in /tools.
Run the custom version of the script to create a package archive:
./buildpkg.tmp --package=lfs-dpkg-wrapper-pass1
The meaning of the buildpkg parameters:
--package=lfs-dpkg-wrapper-pass1
Normally, based on the current working directory name of lfs-dpkg-wrapper-0.1, buildpkg would create a package with name lfs-dpkg-wrapper and version 0.1. For this chapter, it is necessary to append -pass1 or -pass2 to package names, as intermediate packages from this chapter and the final packages from the next will often need to coexist for a time.
Install the package:
dpkg -i ../lfs-dpkg-wrapper-pass1_0.2_*.deb
