No, the debian/rules make file handles deleting debian package specific things (debian/tmp/ for instance) > 2. I have a NEWS file which keeps track of the latest changes.

No, the debian changelog can be used to only note things you did for the debian package. Like if you changed the postinst script, or added a menu for the debian package. You are more than welcome to keep your program changes seperate from the debian/changelog. good luck, Ben -- ----- -- - -------- --------- ---- ------- ----- - - --- -------- Ben Collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian GNU/Linux UnixGroup Admin - Jordan Systems Inc.
