I'll try to remember to do a README next time I touch that tree. There's a million and one ways to build a package from a Debian control tree, so there's lots of options, but what I do is use the svn-buildpackage meta package. You've got the idea right about, create a new tag, update the control file (and the changelog), and then build the package using some wrapper around "debian/rules" (not dh install, though). Once you've got svn-buildpackage installed, you're supposed to create a directory up one level named "tarballs" (so $ROOT/tarballs, $ROOT/trunk/debian) and do `debian/rules get-orig-source`. From there, the svn-buildpackage command will take over and do all the appropriate building from the control files. -- Jared _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Open Source Applications Foundation "chandler-dev" mailing list http://lists.osafoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/chandler-dev
