Hi folks,
I've had problems with developing *-dfsg source packages several times (the most evil case was mysql-5.0.x, where the orig source tree is totally unusable and is repaired somewhere within the build process with certain ugly sed hacks). This is really ugly. Instead of simply removing non-compliant files, I'd suggest doing a full downstream fork, using a modern vcs (eg. git), which not just removes certain files but also repairs the damage done by that, rebase that onto newer upstream versions and create the .orig tarballs from that downstream's releases. cu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: [email protected] mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
