Thanks everybody for all your answers. Indeed, I did not know that empty directories would not be included in the diff.gz file. However, svn-buildpackage does not ignore them for the building of binary packages, so things which worked in my svn repository did not in the cowbuilder. I was indeed wonering wether the fact that debian/manpage is empty would be a problem, so that is why I tried to transfer the manpage building script in it. Howvever at that late moment in the night, I forgot about the rm -rf in the clean rule. So the directory was empty at the creation of the diff.gz :( Now, I have put a non-empty placeholder file in debian/manpages. It is not very pretty, but it works. However, I hope that we can some day swich to this new format of source package where the debian directory is contained in a tar.gz file. It just looks more simple... (For debian/patches, well, when it is empty it is not causing trouble that it is included in diff.gz) Have a nice day, -- Charles Plessy http://charles.plessy.org Wako, Saitama, Japan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
