If I compile my own Debian package I use `svn export' for upstream SVN and `svn export' for our debian trunk and then just compile it.

Now that I read a bit about `automake' in the past, it seems the current approach is more the GNU way. I think also that the SVN approach would be the better one. Shouldn't be too hard to replace that `make dist'/DISTLIST/gendistlist.sh stuff with a small script which uses SVN for this. -- Felix Zielcke _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
