As a side-note: I'm not so sure aircrack-ng was ever properly optified. I need to look into that more. Because right now it seems like only the documentation gets optified - where-as my .tar files in the day had all the binaries optified too... I also don't really see the point of aircrack-ng putting binaries in /usr/local/[s]bin, as that's not even part of the default path in the N900. When I start understanding debian packaging better, I'll see if I can get the binaries to be installed to /opt/[somewhere]/[that]/[makes]/[sense] and just make symlinks in /usr/bin/ and /usr/sbin/ or wherever.

1.1-maemo4 cleared builder; now we wait more.

Hehe i acutaly already optified it in /opt/aircrack-ng as it takes around 1.5 mb from rootfs
And Building a deb that have them optified is better also putting them in /usr/sbin is better and better

Yeah, this is confusing.
sbin is in the path if you 'sudo gainroot' or just 'root' but the $PATH is different and only 'root' gives you /usr/local/sbin
I think we can change that from the makefile, but if it's wasting space we could put the optified equivalent instead.
I looked at what is in my sbin and it's just links to the files somewhere else, and "ls -l" from there shows they are optified properly. Of course that is with my older deb, it might be different.

If anyone knows how to fix me getting this error when trying to run dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -sa -S on iw, I might be able to get an iw version that doesn't conflict with aircrack-ng pushed into devel within a short time after said fix:
Scratchbox (as installed by the provided auto-installer of the Maemo 5 sdk for Debian), came with debhelper version 5.something. iw as packaged wanted version 7.something, and was giving another error at first. So I upgraded debhelper, getting rid of that error, but now I have the above error, and am stumped on how to proceed.
I can change debian/compat to 5 and debian/rules to a rules file essentially copy-pasted from aircrack-ng, but modified slightly (can you tell how much of a packaging newb I am yet); and then dpkg-buildpackage works fine - BUT I do not wish to try to upload that to the repository because if it builds right but breaks something, I'd end up breaking everyone's iw installs, and unable to fix it - as I can't make a source package with dpkg-buildpackage using the original rules file. And while I would test it by packaging a .deb on my end without all the uploading, I'm having completely unrelated issues with figuring out how to make a .deb file in scratchbox, both for iw and aircrack-ng.
Code:
dpkg-buildpackage: source package is iw dpkg-buildpackage: source version is 0.9.19-1maemo4 dpkg-buildpackage: source changed by Alexander Kozhevnikov <mentalisttraceur@gmail.com> dpkg-buildpackage: source version without epoch 0.9.19-1maemo4 fakeroot debian/rules clean dh clean Undefined subroutine &main::inhibit_log called at /usr/bin/dh line 224. make: *** [clean] Error 9

I thought it's supposed to be "dh_clean"?
(yeah I dunno what it's doing either)
Try to check the ":clean" section of the debian/rules file, maybe change the command(s) there. I guess you could make it match the aircrack one if it doesn't already.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/make -f export CFLAGS = -g -O$(if $(findstring noopt,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)),0,2) export V=1 %: dh $@
Code:
clean: dh_clean
Code:
clean: dh clean
Also, yes, with debhelper 5.something is was dh_clean. debhelper 7.something had a dh command that can take a bunch of different parameters.

What the $%#$...
Yeah, I don't think I can help. But it's good you posted that, now someone else might be able to explain what to do (or why to give up).
If you didn't look already, there is a bit of info on how to use debhelper 7 here:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Packaging
They listed some required changes to the control and rules file you could try, but I'm not very optimistic. I always end up in dependency hell when trying to do anything.

Okay... so in one of the most convoluted ways ever, I seem to have gotten something like what was supposed to be done with iw to happen.
I downgraded debhelper to 5.something, installed debhelper7, added /usr/bin/dh7 to $PATH, and with the debian/compat still being set at 5, everything magically worked. WTF? Now we just have to know if it worked right, and if so, did it work any differently than what I was doing before with the other debian/rules file copied and modified from aircrack-ng... In retrospect I also just realized I took my own thread massively off-topic. *Shrug*
Creamy Goodness, if I send you a set of .source.changes, .dsc, and .tar.gz files, can you make those into .debs and see if they install right on your end (I would, but as I said, I have horrible difficulty with making ,deb files in scratchbox on my end).
- Edit - Actually I just figured out how to get a .deb file along with source package... I'll text the iw .deb I just made on my N900 in a few minutes and go from there...
- Edit 2 -
AHA! It works. At least on my end. Alright, pushing to iw without aircrack-ng to -devel. Assuming the iw maintainer was right and I can do so without being the maintainer.

Cool. Try enough random stuff, usually you get lucky! Let us know if that is true -- being able to push out the package properly without being the maintainer. I have to update Conky in the repo but I'm not the maintainer, it's a pain...
Oh But actualy i checked inside /usr/local/sbin/
and found only the packages installed by aircrack
otherwise i would hav ln -s one by one
