It's easier to use DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/tmp if DESTDIR support is available; that way you get less confused by /etc. > - From a policy point of view, it doesn't hurt to call clean before > debian/rules binary, but if you do that, I'd do it in debian/rules, > not by hand. However, I recommend not to do it. I'd call it a bug to do that. I believe the buildds, and certainly dpkg-buildpackage, do something morally equivalent to 'debian/rules build && fakeroot debian/rules binary'. Use dpkg-buildpackage (or debuild, a wrapper around it which sorts out fakeroot and the like) rather than 'debian/rules binary'. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
