Policy Manual 10.7.3 (emphasis added by me): "" Configuration file handling must conform to the following behavior: * local changes *must* be preserved during a package upgrade, and * configuration files must be preserved when the package is removed, and only deleted when the package is purged. Obsolete configuration files without local changes /may/ be removed by the package during upgrade. "" - That being said you can move them out of the way. I suggest you read http://wiki.debian.org/DpkgConffileHandling for how to do it properly. If you use the dpkg tool then it will be a Pre-Depends on dpkg >= 1.15.7.2 (since you need to add code in preinst as I recall). I am a little hazy on the details. debian/patches/02_lilo-version-${vendor}.patch: - Looks like lilo could use a "branding" macro or so for the build. - Any reason you replaced the "GNU/Linux" part with Debian in src/crt.S? Considering that Lilo is only supported on x86 and amd64 for Linux, "Debian GNU/Linux" is still quite valid (or will lilo also work for the FreeBSD ports?). debian/patches/03_keytab-lilo.8-${vendor}.patch: - It looks like the doc is being installed in lilo-doc instead of lilo though. - Since Ubuntu is based on Debian you can merge this into one patch. You can choose to use "Debian-based" if you prefer that. debian/patches/04_lilo.8-for-${vendor}.patch: - The "lilo vs lilo-doc" applies here as well. You can merge (most of)? the ${vendor} patches into a single patch and just used "Debian" or "Debian-based Systems" if you want to reduce the amount of patches. doc/README: - Says distclean will remove "pre-built LaTex files"... But I cannot see any part of doc/Makefile actually delete any .fig files. A quick look at d/rules suggest it does not remove it either, so are these rebuilt from source? ... and now it is way past 2 am. >.> ~Niels -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJNOjlFAAoJEAVLu599gGRCbdAP/3CP5+TyFzQDntvIGPsrrFu4 U2MDqwJtNpYV6Y91Bj9FOaSOZYhWxmepOh+d6p1puJkiHhqnow+3xHPASoY7Fkhe TNbyMEQfwtnPmaTTbIbJpIyY3mWI6VDoDdFQXYcCDRS7+1+oEFt/JF4JBp8zptRe wp0++Nbr2yT2IPHxlsSFrkL63JjGhYcfTvmUSd9CuNlszxZw/xr6TcPZY/n32kbX xLQlvdEPbxbPTBUZZAmjGjtT4oyqBj32vQmMXB2oNK+6SRxaCqI6aUc/ja8No1d0 l6oOljiT87dgu3sonfJESYUba7AcFwWhe/2rcutwWqv5we0VRjgjsawEm9H6UivQ k/Yg8cpvTA+8ZkEmltM4UMr4t+ZzflqihLO6DAv12kyRLIHzMpp9XUwC7FDhmyBM BXNNG4oyN1F3JUG+rVZVXXIiDHJpRuc53A3t2305iUNt4NiAgs3Kyh0uVSJwiPCh YYjYgk26VlB5/ebhHIyoTnG3/Q74vO74EEpl2U3RYyQLLxFM5nFm94HruJD/jyHZ S7OlXb3ePwF9SoOMjkSvsNWvYEqhZuPKFRS4R49/zaqHglwOEyWQoC41UTS4Alka 5S+f69RLVywdsl/3ZsQJXu9PJQKxiMGLqa2lYvKztqabP33DiKttHUZFnGbIXx/j Qq4BOX+5zhUBDuDWwdhV =E1Sh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
