I would recommend to create a "make deb" rule that does what you need, to avoid the hastle of remembering to copy the orig tarball :) See my sextractor diff for an example of how to keep the diff readable. Of course, you case is a bit different, since ./debian/ is in upstream tarball. Good luck! -- Clear skies, Justin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
