Sorry, I meant tarballs, not CVS. The result of "make dist" or "make distcheck" should be suitable for building packages. > If they want to make debs from snapshots, they can get the source > package from the debian archive, as all the libs available as > snapshots and e17 are in there. Yes, they could, but that's not really the point. In fact, that's the opposite of the point. I'm saying that we should be providing them the necessary packaging info (i.e., debian/) to build .deb packages themselves from our source tarballs. > Well, if those packages are in Debian, all you need to do is > basically run 'apt-get source foobar" to get the source and the > debian directory, so it's not really difficult. More difficult than having it work out of the box. Thus, it is now more difficult on the aforementioned user solely to make it less difficult on the Debian developers. As I said.
