I think it would make sense to put > the source debs on the debian-eeepc.debian.net repository, though. Ack. I have few minor points: * Is eeepc-bluetooth package native or not? Changelog says version 1.0-1, but I don't find any means of retrieving .orig.tar.gz. Not surprising, as the upstream "source" is actually just one patch. Perhaps the package should be made native? * It seems more natural to me to have source package name be the same as the resulting binary package name (i.e. rename Source to eeepc-bluetooth-source) * I also think it would be useful if both eeepc-bluetooth-source and eeepc-bluetooth-modules-NNN packages are on eeepc.debian.net package repository. That way people not found of builting from source can get the functionality a bit easier. Your work on this is much appreciated! -- dam JabberID: [email protected]
