Hi Marcus, first: I think this discussion fits better on the debian-java list. :)
I am not in the pkg-java group for so long but I think I can still answer some of your questions. Marcus Better wrote: > Stefan Gybas wrote: > >>I've added you to the project.

I dont think this has to do with disk space. The thing is: With a properly constructed source package you do not need the upstream sources in our SVN. > I need to repack the upstream sources to remove jar files etc, and it would > be much easier to commit the modified upstream source tree to SVN and work > from that, instead of keeping a local tree. As far as I understood it you should do the 'repackaging' programmatically. Put every needed operation to make the upstream sources suitable in the clean:: rule. > Also, I really dislike using dpatch/quilt in conjunction with SVN since it > defeats the purpose of having version control (which is to track changes). The dpatch/quilt/simple-patchsys thingie is part of the debian build system I think. cya Robert
