yes it it: you have to provide a programmatical way to retrive/generate the orig.tar.gz, either downloading from upstream website (as usually done for a "real" release) of with that get-orig-source target. The code I link you to generates the tarball, starting from the revision number you used in debian/changelog. -- Sandro Tosi (aka morph, Morpheus, matrixhasu) My website: http://matrixhasu.altervista.org/ Me at Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/SandroTosi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
