I don't use/know svn-buildpackage, but cvs-buildpackage and I can tell you, it is very easy to use (so I think, svn-buildpackage is too if you know svn). > I think I still prefer the easy way by just putting the debian-dir (where > all my packages are stored) under svn control or maybe an own repo for > every package. If you want to have a look at a cvs-repo for Debian packages have a look at http://cvs.wgdd.de/cgi-bin/cvsweb/?cvsroot=debian. So if you want, you can also test cvs-buildpackage with anonymous checkout. If you really want to give it a try, I suggest to use "cvs-buildpackage -C'debuild ...'". > This way I just have to deal with two seperate problems: > (1) ci/co > (2) building the package as usual > > Does anything speak against my method? BTW: how do I make pdebuild and > debuild to ignore the .svn dirs? Make an export, not a checkout. But normally debuild/pdebuild should not complain about .svn dirs. Do you mean linda/lintian? In this case, you need to add a short ignore-warning hint for linda/lintian. BTW: I suggest to use DEBUILD_LINTIAN=yes DEBUILD_LINDA=yes DEBUILD_LINTIAN_OPTS="-i -I" DEBUILD_LINDA_OPTS="-i" in /etc/devscripts.conf (runs linda and lintian automatically after every debuild run and it further outputs some more info). just my 2 cents Regards, Daniel
