Do I have to put my debian dir on the svn repo before I make an RFS? It is good idea to have it in svn from beginning. > 5. lintian complains about my not using my full name in the package. > Is that necessary? Is it bad if I use only my first name? Yes, you should use your full name. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com
