<snip> I'm always cloning the upstream repo, branch off at their release tag and add all necessary chanages as individual git commits - first come the generic (non-deb specific) patches, then the deb specific ones. No text-based patches, or even magic rewriting within the build process. The HEAD is exactly the debianized source tree, which is then fed to dck-buildpackage. --mtx -- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult Free software and Linux embedded engineering i...@metux.net -- +49-151-27565287
