I would like to make 2 suggestions for the new maintainer's guide. 1) In section 6.3 (http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ch-build.en.html ) when you are introducing the debuild command, I think it would be nice to provide a brief overview of that command. It should also specify the difference between debuild and other commands introduced before (Ex:- dpkg-buildpackage). Instead of
You can automate package build process further with debuild command. See debuild(1). I propose You can automate package build process further with debuild command. The debuild command runs dpkg-buildpackage, then runs linda and/or lintian on the .changes file created, and then signs the .changes and/or .dsc file using debsign. For more details, see debuild(1). I am not bent on upon the above wording. But I think one or two sentences of what debuild does and when it is appropriate to use instead of dpkg-buildpackage would be much more helpful. 2) It would be nice if the maint-guide has a section on gpg and explains how to sign the package a bit clearly than just referring to their man pages. hth raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
