dpkg and apt into believing that some package is installed even though it is only an empty shell. This allows satisfying dependencies on a package when the corresponding software was installed outside the scope of the packaging system. Such a method works, but it should still be avoided whenever possible, since there is no guarantee that the manually installed software behaves exactly like the corresponding package would and other packages depending on it would not work properly.
equivs-control وequivs-build (من الحزمة equivs)، ينشئ الأمر equivs-control ملف ترويسة حزمة دبيان يجب تعديله حتى يحوي اسم الحزمة المنشأة، ورقم إصدارها، واسم مشرفها، واعتمادياتها، ووصفها. الحقول الأخرى التي لا تملك قيماً افتراضية ليست إلزامية ويمكن حذفها. الحقول Copyright وChangelog وReadme وExtra-Files ليست حقولاً معيارية في في حزم دبيان؛ لا معنى لهذه الحقول خارج نطاق equivs-build، وسوف تُحذَف من ترويسات الحزم المولّدة.

In fact, the package is not installed since a newer version of the module has been manually compiled & installed in the site_perl directory.

falcot-data-1.0 لتخزين الحزمة المصدرية. سوف تُسمّى الحزمة ‒منطقياً‒ falcot-data وستحمل رقم الإصدار 1.0. بعدها يضع مدير النظام المستندات في المجلد الفرعي data. ثم يستدعي الأمر dh_make (من الحزمة dh-make) لإضافة الملفات اللازمة لعملية توليد الحزمة، التي ستحفظ جميعاً في المجلد الفرعي debian:

Architecture: all in debian/control). single acts as a counterpart, and leads to a single binary package that is dependent on the target architecture (Architecture: any). In this case, the former choice is more relevant since the package only contains documents and no binary programs, so it can be used similarly on computers of all architectures.
dh_make command created a debian subdirectory with many files. Some are required, in particular rules, control, changelog and copyright. Files with the .ex extension are example files that can be used by modifying them (and removing the extension) when appropriate. When they are not needed, removing them is recommended. The compat file is not used nor created anymore. Instead of defining the debhelper compatibility level as a number in this file, it is now defined as a build-dependency on the debhelper-compat virtual package in the Build-Depends file in debian/control.
copyright file must contain information about the authors of the documents included in the package, and the related copyright and license. In our case, these are internal documents and their use is restricted to within the Falcot Corp company. The default format used for this file is defined in the Format field.
changelog file is generally appropriate; replacing the “Initial release” with a more verbose explanation and changing the distribution from UNRELEASED or unstable to the target release name is enough.
control file must also be updated: the Section field can be changed to misc and the Homepage, Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser fields were removed. The Depends fields was completed with firefox-esr | www-browser so as to ensure the availability of a web browser able to display the documents in the package. If the package does not require to run any commands as root (see أدوات fakeroot), the Rules-Requires-Root field can be left as is.

Description: Internal Falcot Corp Documentation
This package provides several documents describing the internal
structure at Falcot Corp. This includes:
- organization diagram

.
These documents MUST NOT leave the company.
Their use is INTERNAL ONLY.
مثال 15.4. ملف changelog

* Let's start with few documents:
- internal company structure;
- contacts for each department.

rules عادة مجموعة قواعد تستخدم لضبط وبناء وتثبيت البرنامج في مجلد فرعي مخصص (يسمى حسب اسم الحزمة الثنائية). بعدها تؤرشف محتويات هذا المجلد الفرعي في حزمة دبيان كما لو كانت جذر نظام الملفات. في حالتنا، سوف تثبت الملفات في المجلد الفرعي debian/falcot-data/usr/share/falcot-data/، حتى يؤدي تثبيت الحزمة المولّدة لنشر الملفات في /usr/share/falcot-data/. يستخدم الملف rules كملف Makefile فيه بضعة أهداف قياسية (منها clean الذي يستخدم لتنظيف المجلد المصدر، وbinary الذي يستخدم لتوليد الحزمة الثنائية).
debhelper. وهذه هي حالة الملفات التي يولدها dh_make. لتثبيت ملفاتنا، علينا فقط ضبط سلوك الأمر dh_install عبر إنشاء ملف debian/falcot-data.install التالي:
data/* usr/share/falcot-data/
falcot-data.desktop file and get it installed in /usr/share/applications by adding a second line to debian/falcot-data.install.
مثال 15.6. ملف falcot-data.desktop
[Desktop Entry] Name=Internal Falcot Corp Documentation Comment=Starts a browser to read the documentation Exec=x-www-browser /usr/share/falcot-data/index.html Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=Documentation;
debian/falcot-data.install كما يبدو بعد تحديثه:
data/* usr/share/falcot-data/ falcot-data.desktop usr/share/applications/
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc command from within the falcot-data-1.0 directory.
