the diff was totally broken so i copied the upstream source in another directory with the debian directory and build it. then there was no other diff file :( > Do you offer your package on any website of yours already? http://www.ngolde.de/binclock > lI'd say do so > and find users and friends of your program and go ahead with it. there are already friends and users of this program. > The > files in your tar file look nice and you seem to try to do proper > work. thank you very mouch. > There are means to make your apt-get'table program available to users > on > registers of unofficial apt-get sites.
