I've changed that. However, I don't currently intend to remove the file (note that a script of regeneration is present as a comment to the debian/patches/resync_rules_base.diff. That's what I use to keep the rules/base file up-to-date with Debian's patches. -- Mohammed Adnène Trojette -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Bug#460838: Please don't ship rules/base in source
Package: xkb-data Version: 1.1~cvs.20080104.1-1 Severity: wishlist I don't really know how rules/base works, but it seems to be autogenerated and possible not to ship it in the source. I see that even upstream tarballs contain it, but maybe the Debian patch could just remove it. The reason I ask this is that having this file seems to cause problems when trying to modify rules. Apparently if I build the package, then edit the source code and finally build and retry cleaning, cleaning fails because rules/base is updated so unpatching fails: Le patch add_void_definition_pl-324647.diff ne se retire pas proprement (rafraichissez le, ou forcez avec -f) --- System information. --- Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-686 Debian Release: lenny/sid 990 testing security.debian.org 990 testing debian.ift.ulaval.ca 500 unstabledebian.savoirfairelinux.net --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed ===-+-=== | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
