Re: [Chicken-users] svn head - buid problem on debian

[F. Wittenberger]

Thanks Felix,

before we continue: this is not about getting chicken work for me.  I
can easily make the destination writable for me, for a moment.  Or
whatever.  It is about the correctness of the debian directory in svn.
And at the same time about me not knowing what I'm doing - I'm neither a
well trained debian maintainer nor fully understand the whole chicken
build process.  But somehow we should be able to get it done.

DESTDIR

This points towards the problem.

I found in debian/rules an EGGDIR, which is not used in rules.make -
just renamed?

So DESTDIR should be "/var/lib", "/var/lib/chicken" or
"/var/lib/chicken/3" ?

not interested - I want the .deb building for grandma.
