Personally I didnt find myself reading README.Debian after package installation very often. I read the package description much more regularly. Though I could put a hint into the description that directs the user to README.Debian for further instructions. > But if you decide to keep them, the enumerated list should be indented by two > spaces (see Policy §5.6.13). A very useful read! Thanks, I wasnt aware of the description format other than lines with a full stop. I also investigated your other remarks and submitted solutions to them upstream. Some of them are already fixed. Your comments also made me remember https://wiki.debian.org/HowToPackageForDebian as a very helpful first stop. > I wouldn't repack the .orig.tar just to remove debian/. If you're using > the "3.0 (quilt)" format, dpkg-source removes upstream debian/ for you at > unpack time. Ah, I didnt know that either, thanks! It seems that repacking the original tarball is necessary nevertheless though because there is an osx directory which contains some mac binaries. Upstream doesnt do the osx packaging and the person who does didnt respond yet. Thanks for your help! cheers, josch -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
