Hi, First of all, thanks for taking care of the libapache2-mod-auth-pgsql Debian package!
What do you think about the attached changes that somewhat update the Debian packaging files? Please note that the funny version number I've used is merely there to track my changes in a changelog entry - I have absolutely no intention of performing an *actual* NMU or taking over your package! This is just a suggestion, all yours to look over and decide what to do about :) (I've taken the liberty of CC'ing the submitter of #512672, since the patch from the bug trail is included in my updates) Attached is a 3.0 (quilt) format debian.tar.gz file containing the debian/ directory, as well as a -series.tar.gz archive containing the patches one by one, as extracted from my Subversion repository at http://svn.ringlet.net/svn/ringlet/www/mod-auth-pgsql/trunk/mod-auth-pgsql-pkg/debian/ with a human-friendly interface at http://svn.ringlet.net/cgi-bin/viewvc/viewvc.cgi/ringlet/www/mod-auth-pgsql/trunk/mod-auth-pgsql-pkg/debian/ I know that the -series.tar.gz is not really in the Git series format, but I generated it by hand with a shell script loop just so you can follow the steps I've taken (the 3.0 (quilt) format and the debhelper override rules were not done at once - in the very near future I'll create a Lenny and an Etch backport of these changes, and they would not contain those). Here's the final changelog entry describing my updates: libapache2-mod-auth-pgsql (2.0.3-5+0~roam+1) unstable; urgency=low * Non-maintainer upload to track my updates only, not a takeover attempt! :) * Convert to the 3.0 (quilt) source format. * Add misc:Depends to the binary package. * Use "PostgreSQL" instead of "pgsql" and "postgresql" in the package synopsis and long description. * Add a Homepage control field. * Do not use full paths to a2dismod and true in postinst and prerm. * Minimize the rules file using debhelper 7 override rules. * Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.4: - change the section to "httpd" from "web" * Add a blank line to the end of debian/NEWS to satisfy Lintian. * Add a doc-base file describing the HTML manual. * Add the 03-encoding.patch to allow a configurable connection encoding and to properly escape client-supplied values.
