Re: Including debian directory in CVS, or not.
I'm changing my mind about uploading a plain .tar.gz to Debian
instead of .orig.tar.gz + 20-byte .diff.gz file (an empty .diff).
I can't seem to be able to use an existing pristine PKG_VSN.tar.gz
file. dpkg-buildpackag insists on rebuilding it. I don't want a
different md5sum on the tar file.
Am I wrong? Is there a way to do that?
