Hello, I was playing around with cvs-buildpackage today (*very* slick set of tools, I'm going to send Manoj a thank you note for this one. Heck, if I lived anywhere near him, I'd pay him a <insert Manoj's beverage of choice here> :-) ), and noticed that my source .orig.tar.gz were a bit bogus: foo_1.2.3.orig.tar.gz was unpacking itself into foo-1.2.3, instead of foo-1.2.3.orig as the packaging manual requires. However, dpkg-source and lintian were perfectly happy with the broken .orig.tar.gz files, which is the reason I hadn't noticed my mistake until I looked at the orig.tar.gz created by cvs-buildpackage and looked it up in the packaging manual. Should I be filling a wishlist bug against lintian, or is it ok (although not optimal) to have .orig.tar.gz files unpacking at foo-1.2.3 instead of foo-1.2.3.orig ? -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
