Dear Tommi and all, there is at least one more place that would desserve an update, the section 6.7.8. Here is a draft patch, which probably requires more editing: Index: best-pkging-practices.dbk =================================================================== --- best-pkging-practices.dbk (révision 7003) +++ best-pkging-practices.dbk (copie de travail) @@ -1798,11 +1812,11 @@ <title>Changing binary files in <literal>diff.gz</literal></title> <para> Sometimes it is necessary to change binary files contained in the original -tarball, or to add binary files that are not in it.
