But i still do not get it. When i am on a debian system, i can execute "apt-get source qt4-x11", and then i get all that i need to rebuild qt4 on my system. (Only using qt4-x11 as an example here, as it is in wheezy already, but qt5 is not.) But when i look at http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-kde/qt/qt4-x11.git;a=summary and do the git checkout of git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-kde/qt/qt4-x11.git, there is no tar.gz in the checkout, and there is also no .dsc file in it.
So i wonder, is it really a non-automatic process to build a .deb package from the git repo, i.e. checkout the repo by hand, then download the .orig tarball by hand, then unpack the tarball by hand, then build the source and binary packages from this directory ? If yes, then it is fine with me, and i do not need to look any further and then i just have to create some small scripts for these jobs, but if these steps are also done automatically, then i would be happy if someone could tell me how this works. > You might want to read the new maintainers guide. > I am reading through it just now, thanks for the hint. > /Sune thanks, kr Holger -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qt-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
