Thanks for all the input. Manoj, I have been relying upon your posted rules files from the start. Without them, I wouldn't have gotten this far.
I have found my problem. I believed that changelog.Debian applied to the binary package, rather than to the source package, and had created one for each binary package. As soon as I put the same changelog in each directory tree the rules file ran without errors. To avoid puzzling users, should the changelog mention that two binary packages were made from the source? If I had looked more closely at the rest of Manoj's debian directories instead of just the rules I might not have made this error in the first place. I have corrected a couple of typos in one of the manpages. The policy manual says, "the copyright file must . . . explain briefly what modifications were made in the Debian version of the package compared to the upstream one." Should these minor corrections be mentioned in the copyright file? Should they be mentioned in the changelog.Debian? I expect to make some minor modifications in the upstream Makefile.in. Should these be mentioned in the copyright file or the changelog? After I complete some more cleaning up and checking, I will upload this package to my home directory on master, and ask that someone review and comment on it. Bob -- _ |_) _ |_ Robert D.
