Once you've read that, begin building your packages, use ‘lintian -I’ to catch problems in the resulting package before needing to ask for help. After building packages that get no complaints from ‘lintian -I’, or when it complains about something that you don't understand even after reading the relevant parts of the Debian documentation, come over to the ‘debian-mentors’ mailing list where these topics are better discussed. -- \ “If you ever catch on fire, try to avoid seeing yourself in the | `\ mirror, because I bet that's what REALLY throws you into a | _o__) panic.” —Jack Handey | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
