Sorry about that. It is possible that the webserver has somehow been configured not to display README files. For now I have renamed it to Readme. Also I have identified a bug in the last line of installchanges, it tries to move the changes file to the done directory with this perl command: rename($ARGV,"done") or die "Cannot move $ARGV to done: $!"; but perl isn't this convenient, I may have to extract the filename from $ARGV (without the path) and add that to the end of the directory. > d-arch-builder??

A very simple hack, the first parameter is replaced with a file name, this file is opened and a list of files retreived. It is a 4 to 6 line diff. The dpkg-scanudebs is almost identical but it has a single instance of ".deb" replaced with ".udeb". A --file-list parameter would be good, and an option to use udebs instead of debs. A --file-list option will make the first parameter obsolete though, it is not required. -- Brian May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
