Modern!? Well... I've just tested it... First I tried to use it like I
used deb-make: ran dh_make, edited some files in the debian dir, compiled
the source code as I wanted, doing a 'touch build' and, in the end, tried
to run './debian/rules binary', but that didn't work! I tried to figure
out the rules file, but didn't understand how it worked. So, as a last
resourt, I used the good old dpkg-buildpackage, but for some reason it
broke at the part of documentation. I changed the debian/doc file and ran
it again, but for my surprise it started ALL over again, even from
../configure!!! As far as I remember, with deb-make that didn't happen!!
Where am I going wrong!? (I'm sure it's MY problem! ;)
Thanks! =)
