[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Help packaging

[Michele Cane]

Hi,

I am packaging LyZ which is a connector Zotero to LyX connector.
You can find my work here:

http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/lyz.git;a=summary


Two version of zotero exist, a firefox/iceweasel extension and a
standalone extension.

The package will be xul-ext-lyz and I therefore need to create symlink
from usr/share/xul-ext/lyz to /usr/share/zotero-standalone/extensions/.

Now in my debian/rules I use:

#!/usr/bin/make -f

%:
        dh $@ --with xul-ext --buildsystem=xul_ext

and I come across this error

ln: target 'debian/xul-ext-lyz/usr/share/zotero-standalone/extensions/'
is not a directory: No such file or directory
dh_link: ln -sf ../xul-ext/lyz

apparently dh_link is triggered by dh $@ --with xul-ext
--buildsystem=xul_ext and create a conflict with the xul-ext-lyz.links.

Can someone give me a suggestion on how to overcome this issue?


Cheers

Mike
