Re: Where to mention, when several tarballs are merged into one .orig.tar.gz
Hi, Daniel Leidert [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Definitely README.Debian; probably a good idea in copyright, where you mention the download location. The Developers Reference gives several useful hints for this situation and suggests[1] to use a more specific file: README.Debian-source. [1] http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-best-pkging-practices.en.html (§ 6.7.8.2, Repackaged upstream source) Do I understand it correctly, that it is only invoked, if run fakeroot debian/rules get-orig-source I fail to see why fakeroot should be needed here. Or is it also invoked in a different case (if e.g. the .orig.tar.gz is missing)? I don't think so. -- Florent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

[1] http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-best-pkging-practices.en.html (§ 6.7.8.2, Repackaged upstream source) I still think that debian/copyright is a more natural location for this information. debian/copyright is where we're required to specify the source of the upstream tarball. Any customizations to the upstream tarball seem to me to be part and parcel with specifying its source. Plus, usually describing the repackaging only takes a sentence or maybe a paragraph, which is a bit short to warrant a separate file. I'll open a wishlist bug against developers-reference. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/

OTOH, using a separate well-known file makes it easy to see at first glance that the upstream tarball has been repackaged. I'd say that, if you're using README.Debian-source, you should mention the repackaging in debian/copyright along with a pointer to README.Debian-source for the details. I'll open a wishlist bug against developers-reference. Okay. -- Florent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello, For docbook-xsl I merge two tarballs together docbook-xsl-x.y.z.tar.gz and docbook-xsl-doc-x.y.z.tar.gz. Where should I mention this? debian/README.Debian or better debian/copyright?
