I am starting to develop debian packages, and have the following question concerning source packages.
The source package consists of three files: <package>.orig.tar.gz <packsage>.diff.gz <package>.dsc When I create these files using dpkg-source -b <package> command, all works fine. However I notice that when I untar the <package>.orig.tar.gz file, files go into a directory named <package>.orig. Looking at existing source tar files, I notice that the unpacked directory name is simply <package>. It makes more sence to me that a file named libcdk_4.9.9.orig.tar.gz would unpack to directory libcdk_4.9.9.orig and not libcdk_4.9.9. -------------- BTW - I'm looking for a mentor so I can adopt the libdsp package. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
