If I understand well the manuals, for upstream sources packages we have
_only_ <package>_<upstream-version>.orig and _not_
<package>_<upstream-version>-<debian-release>.orig , because
<debian-release> is reserved to the debianized source.
I used the <debian-release> number in the upstream source name and I had
the uploads rejected because the <debian-release> number disappeared
(maybe by dpkg-source) from the source name and it, obviously,
conflicted with the previous upload.
I made my changes only in the debianized tree, but, because the files
involved were images and not text, 'diff' complained for that and
dpkg-buildpackage stopped. So I thought that I have to move these
changes up to the upstream source (ough!) or I have to change the format
of the images in the upstream sources to text contents uuencoding them.
In both cases I have modified the upstream source contents directly
inside the .orig tree!
What else can I do? Or have I missed a way to handle non-text diffs?
ciao
Fabrizio
