Another revision of the d-m FAQ
In my last update of the FAQ, I forgot to include a substantial rework of the difference between native and non-native packages from Thijs Kinkhorst. The rework also split the discussion on why debian dirs in upstream tarballs is bad, which should help in the future when people ask about it -- now you've got something to point them at. Thanks Thijs, and thanks also to everyone else who has contributed material to the FAQ in the past. - Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Another revision of the d-m FAQ
I just joined this list (although I haven't packaged anything yet, etc. I fully intend to). Thus, I haven't been following this discussion. Any chance you could provide a link to the page about why debian dirs in upstream tarballs is bad? Curiosity kills the cat, every time... Thanks!
