Again, I would reccomend using dpkg-buildpackage, even if you only intend to generate the source upload. If you name the source tarball (upstream source) <pkg>_<version>.orig.tar.gz and are in the source tree (with /debian/ setup) it should generate the .diff.gz based on the last changelog version number (in this case 4.81-1). (fyi, for one of my packages I'm playing around with: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/debian/test$ ls;dpkg-source -b freevsd-1.4.9-1;ls freevsd-1.4.9-1 freevsd_1.4.9-1.orig.tar.gz dpkg-source: building freevsd using existing freevsd_1.4.9-1.orig.tar.gz dpkg-source: building freevsd in freevsd_1.4.9-1-0.1.diff.gz dpkg-source: warning: file src/vsdproxyd/Makefile has no final newline (either original or modified version) dpkg-source: building freevsd in freevsd_1.4.9-1-0.1.dsc freevsd-1.4.9-1 freevsd_1.4.9-1-0.1.dsc freevsd_1.4.9-1-0.1.diff.gz freevsd_1.4.9-1.orig.tar.gz ) Thanks, Roger
