The directory name doesn't matter that much as things like dpkg-source seem to handle most of these quite well. The fact that the archive extracts out to that directory means the orig.tar.gz is being created. I generally never let that happen by always renaming the upstream tar file to orig.tar.gz as my first step. eg, mv LPRng-3.4.20.tar.gz lprng_3.4.20.orig.tar.gz - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.enc.com.au/ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIEEE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
