The hardest part is naming the option to set the source format and deciding about the default :) What is not so trivial is making --refresn convert between formats, adjusting rules/control accordingly. > - full svn-buildpackage support (esp. for multiple tarballs) > > What does everybody think -- should me start to move more in that > direction? What else is missing? What needs to happen? I have a problem with the new format in that that building the package leaves the patches applied, so every time I build (with debuild or whatever pbuilder helper which first creates a source package) I have to unapply the patches. Is there some clever trick to avoid this? -- dam
