NAME

build-aladdin-deb - build a debian package with eToken drivers

SYNOPSIS

build-aladdin-deb --help
build-aladdin-deb [archive]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the helper script for creating a non-redistributable Debian package (.deb file) from the proprietary drivers for the Aladdin eToken PRO hardware token.

The resulting .deb complements the free software in the etoken-pro package so the hardware token can be used for various cryptographic purposes.

OPTIONS

There is only one option.

--help Show some helpful text.

USAGE

The program expects the name of the Aladdin tarball as a command-line argument. If no argument is given, the default of etoken-3-65.3-linuxredhat-i386.tar.gz is used. The files from this tarball ar placed in a standard file hierarchy, which is packaged as a deb.

FILES

The program uses /usr/share/etoken-pro-support/debian-template.tar.gz as a template for the Debian package. For the packaging it calls on the programs fakeroot and dpkg-deb.

SEE ALSO

fakeroot(1), dpkg-deb(1).
The README file in the documentation of the etoken-pro package has some more information.
