I used to do this for several packages I provided via my personal page before they were added to the Debian distribution. We (my sponsor and me) never had problems with this. In the OPs case, I would suggest to use the - -v option for a .changes file over -1 to -3|uploaded revision - -sa option for including the .orig.tar.gz as documented in dpkg-buildpackage(1). @Michael: Tell your sponsor, when you used these options! Most sponsors rebuild the package and the -v and -sa options are not used by default. Regards, Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
