Hi,

I don't know if it's possible in a clean way, but it would be
interesting to add a mecanism to make-jpkg, which would enable to
know exactly the name of the produced package.
So that a script could have a way to know this name (before the actual
creation of the file, or after...) and run dpkg -i or whatever on it.

Thanks,

This would be a bit of an very specialistic feature that would be needed
to be maintained then, while there is already the easy possibility to
just run make-jpkg in an empty directory (by the script), or at least
one without .deb's. You can then glob for *.deb to find the created
deb, and install it (by doing dpkg -i *.deb, or by any other means).

So, I don't see a need to add this feature, and we decided to not
implement it to prevent bloat in make-jpkg, for the above reason.

Also, one thing of note is that dpkg -i will fail if you don't
pre-arrange dependencies to be installed.

Thanks,
