Hi Justin, > So, you're subscribed to a whole bunch of lists, and you store the > messages yourself? Ideally, mbox files would be publically available > from www.debian.org, but I can't find them if that's the case. I looked there, but I don't think there are any. That's why we startet collecting and syncing them (I know there are archives accessible for DDs). First idea was to put them on a server where everybody could fetch them - not 5 minutes later "hey, wouldn't it be nice to have those apt-get-able?" *g* > Its a Debian native package? I guess that makes sense. It is :-) And so there is no rellay source package at all (okay a database dump but these sources are not available to the public like any other source package). > .deb.

Forgot to mention - since my package uses dh_compress the mailbox will be stored gziped as it is put to /usr/share/doc. > [0] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=38902 Sounds quite good and reasonable. These list archives might be something in between, data in form of a mail archive and documentation since that's why the mailinglists are there (to help others). Some thing I didn't mentioned before: dpkg-source: warning: source directory `./debian-user-german-200202' is not <sourcepackage>-<upstreamversion> `debian-user-german-200202-1' Is it better to use underscores like debian_user_german-200202? Cheers, Jan
