I have taken a short look at the package. This is the first mozilla-pugin source package I have taken a look at, I am not familiar with the best-practices. - Eyeing example packages (venkman) there seems to be some black magic involved, like writing a chrome.d file and generating the correct symlinks in {/usr/share,/var/lib}. Which i why I do not intend to sponsor this. Anyway, I think the following might still be helpful. There are a couple of things that probably need to be fixed: #1 The version number. You (claim to) have taken a svn snapshot and labeled it 1.3.9a. This is going to make problems if you ever want to upload the released version of 1.3.9: ------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/$ dpkg --compare-versions 1.3.9a-1 \ '<=' 1.3.9-1 || echo beta version sorts after release beta version sorts after release ------------- 1.3.9~svn20080307-1 (with 20080307 being the checkout date) would sort correctly and would correctly label this as svn-snapshot. #2 The generation of orig.tar.gz. Please document exactly and in detail how the orig.tar.gz was generated in debian/README.source. This should show how to package a released version (using the .xpi as input), too. #3 There is no seamonkey package in Debbian, you probably should depend on iceape-browser instead. (Not that the package currently works with iceape-browser, there is a magic symlink or chrome.d file missing somewhere.) cu andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
