Hello, Goswin and others, > You don't have a debian-user-german-200202.orig.tar.gz so the package > is detected as native package.

Ok :-) (learned at lot this weekend :) > What you have done here is not strictly against policy but frowned > upon. You mixed a native package with a debian version. Nah, even if it is not against the policy I won't like to start packaging in a greyzone :-) > I would suggest one of two things: > > 1) Use 200202.1 as upstream version keeping it a native package. > > 2) Create an orig.tar.gz with just the mbox and a diff.gz with the > debian dir and keep 200202-1. Then I would choose 1) but what exactly I have to change? Acutally the 'source' is in a directory like ./debian-user-200202 and in control there is a line like this Source: debian-user-german-200202 and in changelog: debian-user-german-999999 (.1) unstable; urgency=low > The mbox files probably never change unless you start cencorship but > the debian script might change. Having the two seperate allows for Huh, now I'm confused. First, the mbox files 'should' never change right, but I'm expecting that there are some mails with wrong date headers or even missing at all that may be 'repaired' and so the archive gets updated. But which debian script do you mean? The ones that build the package? Cheers, Jan
