Hello,

This is very useful information. Can you (or somebody else) please write this
down together as a sub-page of the the developer page
https://git.devuan.org/devuan/devuan-project/wikis/guidelines
(or wherever it belongs) and update the build procedure for different cases:
native, git and quilt.

This is very useful for people adopting packages for Devuan (like me).

A follow-up question: You mention dpkg-buildpackage, what about git-
buildpackage?

Git-buildpackage must be used in the case of the 3.0 (quilt) format. This is the only one wich needs a orig.tar.bz2 / orig.tar.gz in the parent directory. Using the pristine-tar branch is also recommended in this concrete case. From my point of view, this format should be used in such projects envolving a lot of developers (the kernel, the grub, etc...)

Cheers,

  Aitor.
