It is a bit more typing, yes. But some (like me) prefer including rules that are reused by many to rules unique to my packages. As was mentioned earlier in this bugreport it only _almost_ doesn't matter when to invoke dh_buildinfo, so unifying is better than expecting each package maintainer to know such details (and keep up with them as new tricks might come up over time). Attached is the cdbs snippet I already use and have used for some time now. It invokes dh_buildinfo as late as possible (we only want it for inclusion in actual packaging - not while iterating over other build issues locally), and makes sure to only invoke once. I'd be happy to add it myself to SVN - as soon as my SVN commit rights have been corrected (unless of course that is for some reason unwanted). - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ - Enden er nær: http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm
