Yes, me too. If you have any suggestions on how to split, I would love to hear them. Kevin: I hope I did not step on your feet, but I was in a rush to get some version done, so I did not contact you. You are cordially invited to work from my sources, or we can maintain in parallel. In any case, I hope you are okay with the attribution I gave. Otherwise, please let me know. also sprach Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> [2005.02.12.1947 +0100]: > mfk> Given that incoming contains the source package (unless orig.tar.gz > mfk> is pulled from unstable, should add that), the buildds really don't > mfk> deal with the upstream sources or the unpacked source tree > mfk> maintained by the developer. > > Buildds deal with source package and not binary package.

The "sources" item is really supposed to be the upstream sources or the directory on the developer's machine holding the stuff, but inaccessible as such to the buildds. -- Please do not send copies of list mail to me; I read the list! .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org> : :' : proud Debian developer, admin, user, and author `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP subkeys?
