But dpkg-buildpackage will then spit out lots of warnings about being unable to store the deletion of a binary file in the diff. So it will look ugly, but work I guess. diff will show the files as having disappeared of course, versus leaving them there and dpkg-buildpackage telling you it can't store the changes to binary files in the diff, and diff will tell you the binary files changed. So leaving the regenerated files there or deleting them, both result in the same amount of noise from diff and dpkg-buildpackage for binary files. Saving the files, then restoring them as part of cleaning would be probably the only way to keep diff and dpkg-buildpackage from making any noise about changes since it is the only way there aren't changes. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
