indeed. debian-policy has some (though some are really outdated), so has the maintainers guide and there are some on the wiki, eg http://wiki.debian.org/DpkgConffileHandling http://wiki.debian.org/DpkgTriggers http://wiki.debian.org/DpkgDebconfIntegration > It should not be the job of piuparts to provide this > information+examples, but be some general packaging > instructions/wiki/... that we can link to. yes.

I'd also like to have a collection of known good+faulty packages, to test piuparts with those. I wouldnt want those in sid neither. :) cheers, Holger -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
