Hi :-) Before nothing, sorry for my mistakes about mount-systray ackage and the native and non-native packages. Your comments and the mentor's FAQ help me a lot.
Well, I have one doubt about the version. What I understand from the policy[1] is that for the package mount-systray, the version should be something like: mount-systray-0.5.3-1 uptream version = 0.5.3 debian version = 1 But then lintian tells me I need a *.orig.tgz (which I haven't) or if I created a *.orig directory, then tells me the diff is empty and so on. I (or actually we -> Guadalinex team) am upstream and we maintain the code with the debian files all together. I know that it's better not to do that and separate the code and the debian files, but, at least by now, we have that way. The thing is if I put the version like 'mount-systray-0.5.3debian1', which I have seen in some packages, lintian doesn't say a word. My question is, what is the difference between both version ways? And also a kind of retorical one (I guess I know already the answer...), do I really need to separate the app code from the debian packaging files? isn't there another option? I guess we'll have to slit them :-/ Thanks in advance for your time and your anwsers :-) Cheers [1] http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Version -- Juanje -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
