I think so. But please do not put them into the upstream's directory. Everything that you add to the software to make it a Debian package should stay in the debian/ directory. Except perhaps config.guess and such files that you changes on purpose. Just checked which files you change that are outside the debian/ directory: zcat lopster_1.2.2-2.diff.gz | grep ^--- | grep -v debian --- lopster-1.2.2.orig/aclocal.m4 --- lopster-1.2.2.orig/m4/Makefile.in --- lopster-1.2.2.orig/Makefile.am --- lopster-1.2.2.orig/config.h.in --- lopster-1.2.2.orig/src/log.c --- lopster-1.2.2.orig/Makefile.in --- lopster-1.2.2.orig/configure --- lopster-1.2.2.orig/lopster.xpm --- lopster-1.2.2.orig/stamp-h --- lopster-1.2.2.orig/lopster.desktop I don't think that these files should be changed. Please read "zless /usr/share/doc/autotools-dev/README.Debian.gz" on how to deal with autotools-built packages. If you feel you need to change source files (like src/log.c) then please use some patch manager. I personally prefer "dpatch" - others use "quilt". Otherwise you will have trouble once a new upstream version is released because you need to find out which parts you had changed. > I hope not to have done too many mistakes with my ugly English... :) Stay a while in some IRC channels and then judge your english again. :) Cheers Christoph -- ~ ~ ".signature" [Modified] 1 line --100%-- 1,48 All -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
