Right, and I would be interested by some advice about upgrading a package because of an upstream source release. > As an absolute beginner myself, I use: > > deb-make for initial packaging (in package debmake) I began using this package but in fact it is outdated, you really should use debhelper. The transition is not very hard, you can use dh_make instead of debmake and then dh_debstd in order to see chat commands you need to add in your rules files. > build for.... building (in package devscripts) > dch for managing changelog (in package devscripts) This is ok, I think. > I will have to choose something to upload once I'll have my official > registration :-) Me too. :-) But in fact, it seems that Martin Schulze (the only responsible I know for registering new developers) is very busy. I've sent my request one month ago... I wonder if I will not send it twice... Cheers, -- Hertzog Raphaël ¤ 0C4CABF1 ¤ http://www.mygale.org/~hra/
