Yes, the source layout is pretty weird, but I didn't want to stuff around with it too much to get it into a Debian package. I just use the CVS repository 'as is' except for a couple of 'bug fixes' to get it to compile at all which i'm feeding upstream and a bit of surgery to stop really broken utilities from attempting to being built. I need to clean that up some more. > /usr/share/doc/rocketworkbench/README.txt only contains build > instructions; are they useful to the end user of the package? > Ok.... I'll actually *create* some better doco. A lot of the other Debs i've been looking at seem to just find any README.* or other misc text files and dump them in doc/package/*. I agree that it should be useful stuff and not just crap. > I haven't sponsored anyone before but I can if you wish. > Hey that'd be great.
