#1 debian package fails

[Anonymous]

The building of debian package with dpkg-buildpackage fails because the install is not building relativly but absolutly.
this is a problem, it needs to build everything relative to the debian dir and then it is packaged. the build script is not allowed to install files abs.

mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/src/packages': Permission denied

this is a no no.
please repair this.

thanks for your hint:
"The building of debian package with dpkg-buildpackage fails because the install is not building relativly but absolutly.
this is a problem, it needs to build everything relative to the debian dir and then it is packaged. "

this might be due to the use of the build-service of opensuse or launchpad etc. that environments have build all the packages, and in case we update the next release, we should definately add and look into that.
Do you want to be the deb-packager for Interface? Please join the team.
As this is an issue for 1.3,0, which should be revised for 1.4.0, I close the ticket, so that we have a look for a cool debian package with the next 1.4.0 release, which should include a rss to the forums feature.
