As I told you, that is broken; debian/changelog should be maintained by hand. > No, cause this package comes from an cvs root and is already a > debian-native source (erg. debian/* exist).

That shouldn't be an issue; just remove the debian directory if the upstream debian packaging stuff is broken (and it is from what you describe) > But there must be some heavy mistakes in the debian-Tree and also in the > source root Makefile/Configure/autogen scripts. of course, first being to automatically create a debian/changelog... > > I wonder how is that possible > > In debian/rules is the entry (for configure:): > test -x autogen.sh && ./autogen.sh $(CONFIGUREOPTS) || ./configure $(CON > FIGUREOPTS) > > This calls ./configure which generates the debian/changelog mentioned > above because in configure.in in AC_OUTPUT is "debian/changelog" > > And debuild binary doesn't run any "clean" rule in debian/rules.

With autotools things should be changed in Makefile.am to have changes persistent; how to do that I can't say and I would prefer you to fix that properly... -- Regards, EddyP ============================================= "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein
