Thanks - I have tested and it works. But, I stumble on the line endings, the first thing failing is the patches. And we cannot possibly have patches with dos crlf. <grumble> Im coming from fedora/rpm, and these things are just trivial when the packaging is out-of-tree. I sometimes find myself banging my head to my table when stuff like this is so utterly complicated when packaging is debian-style, in-tree.</grumble> I guess you understand the situation. If the downloaded sources are crlf, what on earth could I do without make dpkg-source upset, and keeping repeated builds sane? At this point I still havn't found out any better option than what I have pushed, using get-orig-source. Cheers! --alec
