I am sure that this means that the name of the source directory must be
changed *after* detarring, not before. There is a great advantage of
using the same source as upstream: their MD5 sums are then the same and
it guarantees the user that any change is in the diff.gz.
Yes, it needs to be changed after uncompressing the source. But what I
was trying to explain is why it needs to be renamed, since it can be
built perfectly with or without the rename.
Well, but that's another discussion, for another thread, on another
mailing list :-)
Best regards,
Nelson
