Basically, I've just converted FreeRADIUS to use dpatch, and that's working nicely. However, the current debian/rules files does a whole bunch of seding against the configuration files after they've been processed by configure and friends. I'm not sure if I should convert these sed calls into dpatches against the source files... (eg. against Make.inc.in, and radius.conf.in) The advantage of the sed file stuff is it's more resiliant to upstream changes. I'm not sure that's a good thing though, I'd like to notice during package build when something's changed interestingly. The advantage of changing to dpatch is that after debian/rules patch is run, you end up with the complete and accurate source tree, in case you're trying to debug a problem. And this means that if upstream changes, the dpatch breaks and I _notice_ that it's happened. At this point I'm leaning towards converting sed to dpatch... Any thoughts from others would be appreciated though. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, MCSE 8th year CompSci/Asian Studies student, ANU The Boss, Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) Paul.Hampson@Anu.edu.au "No survivors?
