I've already done the patch change, and I was going to wait until after the release. I can revert my packaging and upload, but it seems kinda silly at this point. Here is a complete list of changes that I made to switch to quilt: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- diff -u tiff-3.8.2/debian/rules tiff-3.8.2/debian/rules --- tiff-3.8.2/debian/rules +++ tiff-3.8.2/debian/rules @@ -9,7 +9,7 @@ # Include cdbs rules files. include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/tarball.mk -include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/simple-patchsys.mk +include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/patchsys-quilt.mk include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk include /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/autotools.mk diff -u tiff-3.8.2/debian/control tiff-3.8.2/debian/control --- tiff-3.8.2/debian/control +++ tiff-3.8.2/debian/control @@ -3,8 +3,8 @@ Priority: optional Maintainer: Jay Berkenbilt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Uploaders: Josip Rodin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -Build-Depends: cdbs, debhelper (>= 4.1.0), zlib1g-dev, libjpeg62-dev, libxmu-dev, libglu1-mesa-dev, freeglut3-dev, libxi-dev -Standards-Version: 3.7.3 +Build-Depends: cdbs, quilt, debhelper (>= 4.1.0), zlib1g-dev, libjpeg62-dev, libxmu-dev, libglu1-mesa-dev, freeglut3-dev, libxi-dev +Standards-Version: 3.8.0 Homepage: http://libtiff.maptools.org Package: libtiff4 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- In addition, I renamed a few of the patches, normalized everything to -p1, and created a series file. I also added a README.source. To test this, I did an extract of the sources for the 3.8.2-10+lenny1 and 3.8.2-11 packages, ran ./debian/rules patch in each, and diffed the resulting build-tree directories. The only differences: % diff -ur build-tree ../../3.8.2-10+lenny1/tiff-3.8.2/build-tree Only in build-tree/tiff-3.8.2: .pc I'm hoping that, given this, you'll be okay with my going ahead and uploading the quilt/standards 3.8.0 version. If not, I can revert this change and reapply it after the upload. Alternatively, I can use urgency=medium or urgency=low instead of urgency=high. --Jay -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
