Hello. I have two, simple, questions about building a Debian package using dh_make and dpkg-buildpackage.
First question, when I use dh_make how can I get it to insert as revision number? I've read the man, the docs, and so on, and can't find this. I mean, if I have a package <foo>-3.2 dh_make returns as package version foo-3.2-1 so if I want to add a revision number, say foo-3.2-2 how to do this? I tried lots of things, but numbering the package foo-3.2-2 before using dh_make makes the package get called foo-3.2-2 rather than just foo. Second question, when using dpkg-buildpackage, it creates the diff. But when I've changed a few files (such as .c ones) and have some change files in different directories in the source tree (say .../foo and /bar) I get some diffs but not all the changes, and not the changeas I've made to .c files and such things as Makefile.in. What am I doing wrong, or not doing? All help, suggestions, comments, much appreciated. Thanks Holgar Ostermann
