Here's what I do to release my package, (Well more accurately, what I will do for the next version):
http://www.pixelbeat.org/docs/linux_project_release_process/ The pertinent bits from there, relating to your question are: . I include /debian in my upstream repository root . I include /debian in my snapshot tarballs to allow others to build debian packages easily . I exclude /debian from my release tarballs, and instead copy /debian from the appropriate place in my repository in order to build the package. Justin Pryzby noted to me previously that, advantages for having debian/ in the .diff.gz rather than the orig.tar.gz are: . more conventional . not confusing other people using other distributions . allowing new Debian revisions without bumping the version for the non-Debian source" The last is the main advantage I can see. cheers, Pádraig. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
