Even when you are acting in both the "upstream" and "Debian packager" role, you should ensure the foo_1.0.orig.tar.gz contains only the source for the package, *not* the Debian-specific stuff; and apply the Debian-specific changes in a foo_1.0-1.diff.gz patch. This way your source tarball is more useful to people not using Debian, or those who want to package your source for a different distribution. -- \ "If [a technology company] has confidence in their future | `\ ability to innovate, the importance they place on protecting | _o__) their past innovations really should decline." -- Gary Barnett | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
