Even a simpler one where enough :) for example, simply saying you're using dpatch and the info about dpatch are in /usr/share/doc/dpatch (similar to what I usually write) would be enough. > The dsc is at: > http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/w/webcpp/webcpp_0.8.4-7.dsc ehm, I personally like to have all the changes in the revision = "current revision in debian"+1, so -6, and you have the opportunity to "fix" this since.... your package FTBFS if build twice in a row. what does this mean? take your source pacakge and uncompress it, then exec "debuild -us -uc && debuild -us -uc", the second execution will fail with dpatch deapply-all reverting patch 05_makefile_docdir from ./ ... ok. reverting patch 04_offbyone from ./ ... ok. reverting patch 03_bashism_fix from ./ ... ok. reverting patch 02_gcc43_patch from ./ ... ok. reverting patch 01_gcc41_patch from ./ ... ok. rm -rf patch-stamp patch-stampT debian/patched rm -f config.sub config.guess [ ! -f Makefile ] || /usr/bin/make distclean make[1]: Entering directory `/home/morph/deb/sponsorship/webcpp-0.8.4' cd . && /bin/sh ./config.status Makefile config.status: error: invalid argument: Makefile make[1]: *** [Makefile] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/morph/deb/sponsorship/webcpp-0.8.4' make: *** [clean] Error 2 dpkg-buildpackage: failure: fakeroot debian/rules clean gave error exit status 2 debuild: fatal error at line 1319: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -D -us -uc failed could you please give it a look and fix it? Once ok, please "merge" all the changes in the -6 entry, and upload again; don't hesitate to ask in case of any question.
