Yes, I believe I am building binary packages without source. For example, I may have a package that before packaging looks sort of like: /eme-assets /eme-assets/DEBIAN /eme-assets/DEBIAN/control /eme-assets/DEBIAN/postinst /eme-assets/DEBIANprerm /eme-assets/opt /eme-assets/opt/image.jpg /eme-assets/opt/libmine.so I package it up using "dpkg -b eme-assets eme-assets_2.0.1.8936_i386.deb" This gives me a debian package I can install, but there is no .changes file. Hope that provides a little better picture of what I'm trying to do. Thanks for your help on this! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
