Re: Bug#478472: generates broken source packages

I just tried to create a new debian-edu package with cdd-dev.

So I checked out the debian-edu package from svn and ran "make dist" (in a sid
chroot) which created debian-edu_0.830~svn40716~edu.lenny+1.dsc and
debian-edu_0.830~svn40716~edu.lenny+1.tar.gz

That's strange.  A "make dist" does NOT create a *.dsc file.

When trying to unpack that with "dpkg-source -x" I got the following error:

You get only a tarbal that has to be extracted via "tar -xzf".
Could you please be a little bit more verbose what you _really_ did?

The procedure is

   1. make dist
   2. move the resulting tarball to some _other_ directory
   3. tar -xzf <tarball>
   4. cd <directory>
   5. debuild

If you follow this procedure everything should went fine.

Kind regards

         Andreas.
