on further reflection i see a few problems with your patch. * the tun-source package is arch-indep; all it contains is the /usr/src/tun-module.tgz. as such it's useless to specify build-dependencies that have no effect on the actual machine where tun-module-KVERS is built - which is the end-user's box. * there is no way (that i can think of) to specify build-dependencies for the tun-module-KVERS package :-(( the tun-module-KVERS thing has no source in the debian archive, and is built by kernel-package or the module-assistant, neither of which care about (build)dependencies. and i can't upload tun-module-KVERS into the archive, as it has to be built against the actual kernel in use. * emulating the build-depends by using depends: for tun-source doesn't work: "depends: blabla [freebsd]" is not supported by dpkg, that works only for build-dependencies. * the rules file hardcodes freebsd in lots of spots (necessarily as i assume), so why not simply have the explicit freebsd stanza fixed in control and do without the type-handling dependency? (this is a minor and slightly moot point, as i can't use the freebsd-specific dependency anywhere anyway as per above) i don't see any good way out of this quagmire; your rules changes look fine but without specifying the extra stuff required for building on freebsd that's not much good. regards az -- + Alexander Zangerl + DSA 42BD645D + (RSA 5B586291) "Ein Blitzableiter auf einem Kirchturm ist das denkbar stärkste Mißtrauensvotum gegen den lieben Gott." -- Karl Kraus
