I do the same, many other DD's too. The simple solution is this: Keep the debian/* files in CVS/SVN. Don't package the debian/* files in the distributed tarball. Simple. When building the packages, you simply download the released tarball as usual, copy your debian/* files into place and build. You retain all the advantages of building the unreleased code for test packages direct from CVS/SVN. > > If debian-native packages are discouraged then is there a good way to > keep the debian/ dir with upstream's VCS? You can do whatever you like as long as the debian/ directory is NOT part of the released tarball. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
