* Andreas Hoenen [EMAIL PROTECTED] [080123 22:19]: causes patch-stamp to be executed as first action before the build-stamp commands get executed. Symmetrical to this the construct clean: clean1 unpatch clean1: causes unpatch to be executed as last action after all clean1 commands. AFAIK that might happen, but only by coincidence (i.e. specific implementation of make and no -j arguments). To make sure unpatch is called after clean1, make unpatch depend on clean1.

Both ways are described as possible in the dpatch man page, but yours looks more elegant. Adapted. Where does clean1 target come from now? I don't see any reason for it. Just taken from the example in the manual page DPATCH.MAKE(7). I think the reason for this indirect approach is as follows: build-stamp: patch-stamp causes patch-stamp to be executed as first action before the build-stamp commands get executed. Symmetrical to this the construct clean: clean1 unpatch clean1: causes unpatch to be executed as last action after all clean1 commands. Whereas clean: unpatch means unpatch being executed before the clean commands. For dblatex it seems to be a matter of taste, as the stack approach is not needed. Thus adapted. I think it is cleaner not to have things like if [ -f debian/lintian.overrides ] in debian/rules. You know whether there is lintian override when you create package. My argumentation is as follows: For some releases I need overrides, for others not. I prefer to change only one location (overrides file itself) than additionally the rules file. But this seems to be arguable. Thus changed. It's better to fix reason why you need override than adding one on so,e releases. In general you are right, however I added the override for a false positive from lintian [1]. (Although there Russ Allberry seems to advise not to override lintian bugs.) Of course I prefer obeying packaging standards to overriding warnings about real violations. ;-) And one more note - watch file could be simplified to this and use uscan support for sourceforge: http://sf.net/dblatex/dblatex-(.*)\.tar\.bz2 -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com Adapted.

RFS: dblatex: long term / current release 0.2.8-3
Dear mentors, as my default sponsor recently has not found the time for sponsoring, and as he agrees I should better search another sponsor - well, here I am :-) Currently I'm the maintainer of dblatex [1] and co-maintainer of apt-show-versions [2]. Thus my involvement is limited, but I set a high value on doing my job properly and long-ranging - thus I only take over a package if I'm really and durable interested. a-s-v is sponsored by the package owner (as a native package it's his child), thus sponsoring is needed for dblatex. Current release awaiting upload is 0.2.8-3 on mentors.debian.net [3]. At the moment I have no plans to become a DD, being confident with my current level of involvement. This might change sometime, but I won't count on it. On the other hand, I'm definitely interested in becoming a DM - it looks convenient for all parties and expresses trust in my packaging. But that is second-rank, first priority is to get dblatex releases published in a timely manner, which is my reponsibility to its users. To finalize my advertisement: the dblatex package is not very complicated (architecture all), with a frequency of at most one release per month. However, IMHO it's a useful and important package, being the sole DocBook-PDF tool in Debian main. And although I'm making packaging mistakes, usually I learn and avoid repeating them. My GPG key is signed by one DD, thus I'm basically connected to the web of trust. I hope to have given a picture clear enough to base a sponsoring decision upon. Thus, if someone is interested, I really would be glad.
