Re: Re: Re: Re: missing file in my package
Thank you for the information. I don't have time at the moment but i'm going to learn about DH_COMPAT 2 and 3, specially when DH_COMPAT 1 is deprecated. I promise that next time i build a package for esms, i'm going to use DH_COMPAT 2 or 3. Anyhow, the actual package i made works and i'd like it to be uploaded as soon as possible (lets see if it's in time to get into woody).

Re: missing file in my package
I just wanted to contribute a note: instead of alien'ing your package to get a listing of it's contents, use the 'dpkg -c' command on your deb.
