Re: 'cdarch' has a dash version
Er... I haven't got a file named *.orig.tar.gz. I think it's because I myself made the program I want to put in a package. So my question is: How can I remove this dash?

Re: 'cdarch' has a dash version
Oups... now I understood and runned dh_make --createorig. Now there are no Lintian warnings/errors anymore! Thanks!

I haven't got a file named *.orig.tar.gz. I think it's because I myself made the program I want to put in a package. You should prepare a ‘….orig.tar.gz’ that contains all the non-Debian-packaging source (i.e. everything except the ‘debian/’ directory), and a ‘….diff.gz’ that applies the Debian packaging to that tarball. Read the Debian Developer's Reference for guidance on this. So my question is: How can I remove this dash? Your program is not Debian-specific, so it should be a non-native package; thus, its package version string should have an “upstream” version (the version number of the program work) and a release number (the number of Debian packaging releases made of the same version), separated by a dash. Read the Debian Policy Manual for the exact format of the version string. -- \ “When we call others dogmatic, what we really object to is | `\ their holding dogmas that are different from our own.” —Charles | _o__) Issawi | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

'cdarch' has a dash version
Hello! I uploaded a package, but it causes the following message: Your package does not seem to be lintian clean. 'lintian' is a tool to verify if source package contain obvious packaging errors.

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.
