Should I create a default set of package docs?  :

 

Preparing package documentation...OK

 

• • • No known documentation files were found. The new package

    • won't include a documentation directory.

 

*****************************************

• • • • Debian package creation selected ***

Installing with eagle-lin-5.11.0.run...

 

========================= Installation results ===========================

/var/tmp/tmp.dCDqw6xmHT/installscript.sh: 4: eagle-lin-5.11.0.run: not found

 

• • • • Installation failed. Aborting package creation.

 

Cleaning up...OK

 

Bye.

Any hints? On debian its important to build a .deb first. Else it

could mess up my system and i can never uninstall eagle again.

 

So the example with sh on the website is quite dangerous.

 

Any hints for debian?

Kind regards,

 

I know that Ubuntu does it, but I don't know how.

There is no problem in running the file eagle-lin-5.11.0.run.

Set it as executable and start it. It simply extracts all files

from the archive and copies them into the an EAGLE folder.

Hi!

There are native Debian packages of Eagle

  http://packages.debian.org/eagle

Simply add the non-free archive to your sources.list (if its not already

there) and install it with your package manager.

Works like a charm. Now i will get even automatic updates and

can remove the package.

Cadsoft should make a hint for it on the download page.

Thank you,
