Sorry for being a legal nitpick, but it's only perfect, if you can be 100% sure, that the .doc is really the source. If there's a doubt (e.g. the pdf created with OOo looks different) it can be rejected. Also one should point out how the source is shipped in the copyright file, or the ftp-team might reject the package, as it could find the source in the orig tarball.

Agreed; the main improvement to that course would be to encourage and work with upstream to include the source document in the source tarball.

.doc files are usually binary so you won't be able to include it as a patch. Instead I think you can use dpkg-source v3 and include a second orig.tar.gz named orig-docsrc.tar.gz (check the dpkg-source manual page for info on that). You can then use the upstream pristine tarball.

unsourced pdf in tarball; src available from ftp site;
I am looking to package the Swiss Ephemeris: http://www.astro.com/faq/fq_swe_prog_e.htm Unfortunately, there are unsourced pdfs in the doc directory of the tarball. doc/swisseph.pdf doc/swephprg.pdf http://www.astro.com/ftp/swisseph/swe_unix_src_1.77.00.tar.gz However, the source (a .doc file) is on the ftp site in a directory that should be covered by the LICENSE file which is also on the ftp site. http://www.astro.com/ftp/swisseph/doc/swephprg.doc http://www.astro.com/ftp/swisseph/src/LICENSE I plan to get an email from the upstream, stating that the .doc files are also covered by the LICENSE, which I will add to debian copyright. If I add the .doc file as a patch, can I still use the original pristine source tarball? I plan to create a make file that will rebuild the .pdf from its source using openoffice. I have already requested that the upstream include the source to pdfs in future releases. -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-1096 pelli...@blackpatchpanel.com PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.free.blackpatchpanel.com/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
