Hi, To train myself, I am packing one of my own programs. I have understood that, in the case debian_source == original_source, you can add to your source directory tree a directory called debian and keep specific files there.
I have 2 questions about this: 1. I am using a simple makefile, as I haven't have time to read about automake/autoconf. My makefile has an "distclean" entry which deletes all unusefull files and lets a clean src directory. It deletes the binary executable also. Do I have to delete any files from debian directory. Should I put this in my Makefile ? 2. I have a NEWS file which keeps track of the latest changes. The debian has the changelog. Do I have to duplicate the entries from NEWS to the changelog ? Is it enough to keep them in NEWS and increment only the version number of changelog ? TIA, Ionutz
