Compression might just be useful if we are going to keep the json files into the VCs but anyway ,if needed, we can change that anytime. > Fine.

For the moment I named it blends-dev-patch so it won't override the existing blends-dev files completelyAlso(I don't know if dpkg has any args to avoid that). when installing the packages with "dpkg" I used --force-overwrite arg in order to override the current's blends-dev files we want. Remember to add * start automatically injected changes * / * end automatically injected changes * into the target changelog in order to make changelog entry work. For the moment I save the changelog entry with the dependencies changes into a debian/changelog.new file into the generated orig.tar.gz. I installed the blends-dev-patch package, I run ./dumpTags to get dependencies json for previous releases and I tested "make dist" for debian-med_1.13.1 and seems to work. PS: I had a great time today as it was my first attempt to create a simple debian package (and to be honest I got stuck to a very simple/stupid bug for a couple a long time while trying to make "debuild" to work) Kind regards Emmanouil
