Anyway, I'm replacing this wishlist request by a more generic request. Much work has been done on the dpkg-source side and since dpkg 1.14.17 we have support of many new source package formats (and they all support gzip, bzip2 and lzma compression). Please check dpkg-source's manual page for more information on those formats. You can create such source packages with dpkg-source --format="3.0 (quilt)" -b mysrcpkg It would be great if dak was able to cope with all of those new formats but realistically I only want the "3.0 (quilt)" and "3.0 (native)" formats to be accepted on ftp-master. I would like to change dpkg-source's default output format in lenny+1 to "3.0 (quilt)" so it would be great if dak could be made to support them. And a test dak repository to play with can be a good idea (CCing Andreas Barth as he had some preminilary support for wig&pen in dak, maybe he can point us to he code or help with the work). I think I have added all the required support in the format "3.0 (quilt)" so that extracting a Format: 1.0 source package with dpkg-source -x followed by dpkg-buildpackage would provide a valid source package in "Format: 3.0 (quilt)" that can be successfully built in all cases (if I change the default output format in dpkg-source, cf @build_formats at the top of dpkg-source). Feel free to ask if you've got questions. Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog Le best-seller français mis à jour pour Debian Etch : http://www.ouaza.com/livre/admin-debian/
