I am afraid that svn-buildpackage has nothing to do with this and this is a limitation in subversion. It complains when the type of the item chnages (e.g. a file becomes a directory or, in your case a file becomes a symlink). > to fail with the following message: > > svn: Commit failed (details follow): > svn: Entry '/tmp/tmp.JtALif9780/upsCurDir/example/depcomp' has unexpectedly > changed special status > > In order to fix it, I had to go into the temporary directory, then for > each file I did svn rm / svn add to convince svn to commit properly. I don't think is reasonable nor wise to ask svn-buildpackage to hide such changes in the upstream tar ball, since they are the kind of changes which you, as a maintainer, should be aware of (it probably changes stuff in the packaging, too). I am marking this as wontfix for the reasons explained above. -- Regards, EddyP ============================================= "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein
