Thanks for pointing me to SvnBuildpackage. Allthough I think it provides a
good way of keeping track of your changes, I'm afraid the whole
buildprocess becomes too complicated -- especially for New Maintainers (me
included).

I think I still prefer the easy way by just putting the debian-dir (where
all my packages are stored) under svn control or maybe an own repo for
every package.

This way I just have to deal with two seperate problems:
(1) ci/co
(2) building the package as usual

Does anything speak against my method? BTW: how do I make pdebuild and
debuild to ignore the .svn dirs?



Kind regards

Bastian
