watch file should be easy to write: this is just a regex and it should not care about the file extension. What you need to do is something like this: http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-java/trunk/fop/debian/watch?view=markup See how watch files are flexible ? Just provide an orig-tar.sh script yourself (using rpm2cpio for example) > Do I need to put rpm2cpio and cpio in Build-depends: ? Do I need to note this > dependancy anywhere? No. You should repack the source using .xy, .gz, .bz2 only in your orig-tar.sh script. Make sure to exit with an error in orig-tar.sh when rpmcpio is not present, and you should be ready to roll. 2cts -- Mathieu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
