maemo-optify is not delivered with MADDE. I think that we can add it for next MADDE release when I'm integrated it in.

Actually was very wrong, I didn't looked to our script carefully, probably I was a bit sleepy .

Anyway if you want to create symlink the best and easy option is using maemo-optify as mikkov explained.

Use maemo-optify. Simplest is to make debian/optify file with "auto" in it. Then run maemo-optify-deb for debs produced with dpkg-buildpackage.

Other option is to install directly to /opt/boulderdash directory
I can't use maemo-optify, i'm using MADDE on windows too, as Sasler is. I don't want to go the autobuilder road either, because this package isn't going to maemo.org repositories.

Installing directly to /opt is working very well so far, as i've done it already. The only problem is that i don't know how to remove the symlinks while removing the package.

I guess i could just transfer the .deb to the N900, run maemo-optify on it there, and get the package back. It seems kind of an unnecessary hassle to me. I already know where the files have to be, and i already know that there has to be some symlinks in the right places, so why can't i just make a .deb that does that automatically?

For simplicity, right now; How about you just create a postrm or prerm script in the debian folder to delete your symlink if it exists.

Nope, you can't just transfer the deb to the n900 and run maemo-optify on it -- thats too late in the process. maemo-optify has to run before it actually turns it into the single file package.

Now the proper method would be in the debian/rules file in the install section create a rule that creates the symlink. Then the package manager would automatically delete the symlinks for you when you de-installed.

You shouldn't create any symlinks in postinst script. If you really need them, they should be included in the actual package. I think dh_link can help creating them http://man.he.net/man1/dh_link

Thank you, i will look into the rules file, and try to figure out what to write in there to make things happen.

.. though you might be able to run maemo-optify-deb on it.

I had a feeling that was the wrong way, but tried it anyway
Now since i'm running on MADDE, and it doesn't seem to have dh_link available, i think i will have to find a way to make the symlinks some other way.

And i really need the symlinks, how else could i place everything in the /opt/... subfolders?
