Take a look at the SVN layout for packages like QOF: http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/qof/trunk/ Unfortunately, viewsvn doesn't show the properties that allow MergeWithUpstream but if you check out the SVN and look at in something like svn-workbench, you can inspect the properties easily (or svn info will do the same). The debian directory as mergeWithUpstream set to 1 in the svn properties. Then I copy the relevant tarball from qof/ to debian/tarballs: $ cp qof/qof-0.8.0.tar.gz ../debian/tarballs/qof_0.8.0.orig.tar.gz $ svn-buildpackage IIRC symlinks don't work, can't remember why. (0.8.0 is the unreleased version, 0.7.5 was hosted at SF instead of Alioth so 'debcheckout' doesn't get you the right version, yet.) -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/
