add make deb to the makefiles?

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi


I am more or less compiling and installing Emacs (from git).

I know that the Makefile has a uninstall option and I am installing
everything in /opt/emacsX

However I still prefer to generate a Debian pkg, since it allows me to
access the installed emacs via Debian pkg.

For this is use checkinstall and (auto-apt, auto-apt however has been
removed in more recent versions of Debian/Ubuntu).

On the other hand mercurial provides a deb target in its Makefile (which
looks also a bit complicated).

Does anybody (Users of Debian/Ubuntu) generate a deb when compiling
emacs from git.

Would he/she mind to share the configure file.

Wouldn't it a good idea if the official Makefile also contains a deb
target?

Regards

I have a somewhat complicated debian/ in the 'athena/unstable' branch of
git.spwhitton.name/emacs.

Thanks I will take a look. But indeed it is more complicated that I
thought, I read that checkinstall should also create some structure, but
with my checkinstall version, I cannot find the deb structure. Anyhow.
