Thanks! I'm moving debian/ into the diff.gz and cleaning out debian/rules, but will need some time to remember what my problem was with dh_strip (IIRC I couldn't make it generate multiple -dbg versions for the various binary .debs?). I'm having one other problem: I'm using pbuilder to build debs on multiple platforms. So I used dpkg-source -b to generate the original .dsc and .diff.gz. Then copy these to another platform (i386 in this case) and run something like sudo pbuilder build --basetgz ~/debian-base/sid.tgz --distribution sid \ --buildresult release/0.19.1/out --debbuildopts -j`grep -c processor \ /proc/cpuinfo` release/0.19.1/ceph_0.19.1-1.dsc The problem is that pbuilder is generating a _new_ .dsc and .diff.gz, with a slightly different md5sum (maybe in a timestamp in the .gz?), and the .changes file references the new .dsc. Which then makes reprepro complain when I try to put it in the repository. Shouldn't there be a single version of the .dsc and .diff.gz for all platforms? Is there any reason pbuilder is generating a new one, and/or is there a way to make it not do that? (I'm running pbuilder on lenny, if that's relevant... maybe I should try on a i386 sid machine.) Also, should I be signing the .dsc? Thanks! sage -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
