How to create a debian package from a Icon set ?

Using a nice changed rules file you can make debian packages a bit easy :


so lets work with that script :

#!/usr/bin/make -f
#
#
# This Rules script had been created by Boris Shtrasman and is released under the GPLv3 licence
# to use it you should :
# 1. download your favorite icon set.
# 2. create a directory : kde-icon-"iconpackname"-"version"
# 3. Using dh_make create a debian package :
#  dh_make --f sourcefile from the directory with the name kde-icon-whatever-version
# 4. Edit control + changelog + dirs +copyrights
# 5. copy this file inside debian/ directory.
# 6. change the `package=kde-icons-nuovext` string to
#  `package=kde-icon-"iconpackname"-"version" `
# 7. run dpkg-rfakeroot 
# 8. post yout package some where on the net
#
# 


package=kde-icons-nuovext

#let collect some info :
#
#
# First let get the name i fought using :
# tar -tf `ls *.tar.gz` | `awk '{print $1}'` but then it is really long operation ..
