The upstream release uses a .tar.bz2 (according to the watch file), so I propose that libtododb should switch to dpkg source format 3.0 (quilt) for .tar.bz2 support, then add these changes as patches and then the upload just needs to use the '-sa' option to upload the orig.tar.bz2 to replace the current orig.tar.gz - I've done this several times now for GPE packages using the pkg-gpe SVN: http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/pkg-gpe/trunk/ I'd like to put libtododb and then the other GPE packages into that SVN as upstream packages (i.e. just the debian/ directories). I did ask about this before but had no reply. I won't have time to do this next weekend, so to give time for a reply I propose to fix the outstanding unresolved symbol bugs for all GPE packages in two weeks time - including putting all remaining GPE packages into pkg-gpe SVN. All such packages that use .tar.bz2 upstream would migrate to dpkg source format 3.0 (quilt) - although quilt itself is not the main objective unless there are patches already in use. I'll forward this issue with libtododb needing to look for libcontactsdb to upstream and tag this bug later. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
