It builds these binary packages:
dhttpd - minimal secure webserver without cgi-bin support
I'm quite short on time and can't review your package, but updating
dhttpd is a very nice thing. Thanks.

Also, I don't think debaday has more of an issue with lack of content
than any issue with upstream/Debian maintainers submitting articles.
A tutorial showing how beef works would be very nice. Also, the upstream
author is a person that knows the program inside out and this is a good
thing for a well informed article (instead of some that have factual
errors).
A tutorial on brainfuck (not only on beef) would be nice, BTW. :-)

There's no need to use a symlink. dpkg-source is smart enough to
understand a lot of odd-ball tarballs. See, for instance, my package
hfsprogs (which Apple calls diskdev_cmds or something similar).
If you unpack the orig.tar.gz from my package, you can see that
dpkg-source even renames the directory that would be created to
something that we want.

RFC: Proposal for template for uploads
Hi.
After some time looking at some commonly complained lack of details in
requests for sponsoring, I took a few minutes and came up with the
template attached to this mail, based on the comments on top of what
mentors.d.n suggests.
This is all the information that I would like to know if I were
sponsoring packages from someone else and I think that others could,
perhaps, appreciate it.
The separation of parts of the document is also something to get more
legibility.
OK, I will stop now and just let you see it. Comment it. Modify
it. Adopt it. Trash it. It is yours.
Regards,

The version that ships with Emacs is more stable (often very stable, which can be a drawback, but I've rarely had any trouble with it).

Yes, I understood that. I just replied to comment that dpkg-source is
more general than that, working with very weird package names.
Please, check my package hfsprogs to see what I mean. :-) I have
