It's about specific policies listed on the pkg-java web pages. > As far as I understood it you should do the 'repackaging' programmatically. > Put > every needed operation to make the upstream sources suitable in the clean:: > rule. This is the first time I came across this solution. Actually it sounds wrong to me. The problem is that the upstream tarball contains parts that are not redistributable or not DFSG-free in the first place. Clearly the orig tarball has to be repacked manually. (I maintain other packages where this is the case.) Can you give me an example of a package that uses this method? >> Also, I really dislike using dpatch/quilt in conjunction with SVN > The dpatch/quilt/simple-patchsys thingie is part of the debian build system I > think. No, there is nothing special about these patch systems. They are just utilities that developers can use, or not.
