Ok, i have done some looking in the svn-buildpackage manpage and you can easily do : svn-buildpackage --svn-prebuild="debian/rules debian/control" ... I wonder if this line can also be added as prebuild hook in some random file, i suppose you can add it to .svn/svn-buildpackage.conf, not sure about debian/svn-layout though. The syntax would be : svn-prebuild="debian/rules debian/control" Stefano, i think you have the most experience with the svn-buildpackage magic, would you care to comment ?
