For the entire 'why' I will have to refer you to the the Debain mailing lists. /me ducks The short answer is Debian packaging is premised on the idea of a 'pristine source' which historically has been a publicly available tarball. Over the last couple of years Jonas has modified the CDBS (Common Debian Build System) to grab from a properly tagged git repo. 'We' is anyone interested in having their activity packages accepted into Debain. david > Sascha > > -- > http://sascha.silbe.org/ > http://www.infra-silbe.de/ > > _______________________________________________ > Sugar-devel mailing list > Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org > http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel > > _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
