You should not need to repack the orig.tar.gz, just ensure that these files are removed during the build before ./configure is run (override dh_auto_configure). If you really want to remove them from the orig.tar.gz, yes use the uscan support for repacking the orig.tar.gz. > also if the package requires / builds lz4 do i need to modify the > makefile that builds it and do i provide the lz4-dev as a > build-depends or . . . just the libs a 'depends' Add liblz4-dev to the Build-Depends. In addition you will need to patch src/bin/Makefile.am and src/bin/termptysave.c so that the system version is used. Since you are patching the autotools build system you will need to replace autotools-dev with dh-autoreconf in the Build-Depends and replace autotools-dev with autoreconf in debian/rules. > i'll look into packaging the geneet package too, assuming that will be > needed. Great, thanks. With compat level 9 you do not need /usr/share/dpkg/default.mk in the debian/rules file AFAIK. The pkg-e team could definitely use help, please get involved if you haven't already and have the time to do so. https://wiki.debian.org/PkgE -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
