I hope this is not a serious comment Smile

The debhelper scripts really do a great job creating a package and there is no need to reimplement them. The first command when trying to create a Debian package should always be dh_make.
I can send you the diff.gz if I succeed to create a Debian package.

Yep, I was serious Smile

I'm not an expert on Debian packages, the scripts I made were just to have some quick builds which works.
I don't know much about debhelper scripts, but if you find that UPP packages are not correctly built somehow, you can send the
needed patches, we'll be happy to apply them.
Anyways, I don't understand what may be wrong on upp packages... they look like debians ones, works correctly... I hope it's not
just a matter of "we should use debhelper because debian do".

Is it true that at first I need an already installed U++ to be able to compile U++ from source ?

I really would appreciate if we could get a proper Debian being set up as I also have to write in C/C++ in this semester and Eclipse's performance just sucks Twisted Evil

Well, yes and not. With my scripts you DO need upp installed in order to build upp.... not a great problem to keep it updated, nor to build, just install an old deb and you're done.
Anyways, there's an option to export makefile from project, but I never used it... maybe somebody else can tell you if/how does it work. You'll need anyways upp sources in order to build UPP, so I don't see the point of using a makefile.
