Hello all mentors, I am in the process of fulfilling an ITA filed on an orphaned package. However, I now experience a desire to begin patching the upstream source for compiling errors and spelling errors in the manual page. To my dismay the previous maintainer chose to let the 'orig.tar.gz'-file contain the packaged and compressed upstream tar archive. My personal taste is to abondon this practice, if for no other reason to simplify the rules-file. Is there some reverence that should prevent me from taking the step of letting a new 'orig.tar.gz' be a byte-for-byte copy of the upstream source archive? I will make the new package conform to "3.0 (quilt)". -- Mats Erik Andersson, fil. dr
