There are two levels going on here: the simplest thing to do is run one of the automated scripts, but the reason they work with any package is that the lower-level interfaces (debian/rules and dpkg-source) are the same for each package. You can quite happily ignore the scripts when producing and building packages if you like: they're just tools for manipulating source packages which automate common tasks. -- Mark Brown mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Trying to avoid grumpiness) http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~broonie/ EUFS http://www.eusa.ed.ac.uk/societies/filmsoc/
