Package: dh-make Version: 0.50 Severity: minor Hi,
while preparing my own software as a Debian package, I stumbled a small inconsistency between "dh_make" and "debuild". While "dh_make" allows orig.tar.gz archives according to the scheme packagename-x.y.x.orig.tar.gz and packagename_x.y.x.orig.tar.gz, "debuild" will fail to find the orig.tar.gz archive in the parent directory when using the scheme packagename-x.y.x.orig.tar.gz, that is with a hyphen instead of an underscore. Not a big deal but I found it to be an incosistency and thus I reported it. I paste output illustrating this below. ================================================================================ glaub...@z6:..0/qhimdtransfer-0.0.1-2> mv qhimdtransfer_0.0.1.orig.tar.gz qhimdtransfer-0.0.1.orig.tar.gz glaub...@z6:..0/qhimdtransfer-0.0.1-2> cd qhimdtransfer-0.0.1/ glaub...@z6:..qhimdtransfer-0.0.1-2/qhimdtransfer-0.0.1> dh_make Type of package: single binary, indep binary, multiple binary, library, kernel module, kernel patch or cdbs?
