Thanks, pbuilder was easy to use. The only nit I found was that the default deb mirror was in Japan, so it was slow from here. Perhaps the defaults could be smarter, but that is a minor nit. My packages are now much better. I also discovered lintian, and it fixed many problems. However, there is one error I don't know how to fix: W: shishi source: native-package-with-dash-version N: N: Native packaging should only be used if a piece of software was N: written specifically to be turned into a Debian package. In this case, N: the version number should not contain a debian revision part. N: N: Native source packages are sometimes created by accident. In most N: cases the reason is the location of the original source tarball. N: dpkg-source searches for this in N: ../package_upstream-version.orig.tar.gz. N: What's causing that? This package is not written specifically for Debian, so I assume the second paragraph should give me some clue. But I don't know how to interpret it. I'm simply running "pbebuild" inside a freshly unpacked shishi-0.0.23.tar.gz, after copying the debian/ tree from elsewhere. There are no files at all in the ../ directory. Should there be? The packages build fine, and after pbebuild finishes, there are indeed some files in ../: shishi_0.0.23-1.dsc shishi_0.0.23-1_source.changes shishi_0.0.23-1.tar.gz I'm sure this is trivial, but I lack the understanding to know how to debug this further.
