I have created a debian package that contains the following files



  1. mypackage.desktop

  2. mypackage

  3. control

  4. copyright

  5. packagedeb.sh


  6. mypackage.jar (generated from my source code)

I wrote some commands inside the mypackage file like:



cp usr/share/applications/mypackage.desktop ~/.config/autostart/


to copy the .desktop file into autostart directory.



But I cannot see mypackage.desktop file inside autostart.



How can I create a debian package that copies a .desktop file into the autostart folder to launch my app at startup?



I am using these instructions.

  • Apart from the question: I don't think it is the correct/decent procedure for any package to make unnoticed, unmentioned changes locally while installing without specific confirmation from the user.
