Yes - that is a real pity. > If there is a new volunteer, and the LyX project wants to give him > svn access, it would indeed be a good idea to develop the packaging > in the LyX source control.

Am I right in assuming that only the debian directory needs to be included in the source? In addition: notmuch had an additional make rule for creating a package (debian-snapshot), which made building the package *very* easy. I just paste here the section): .PHONY: debian-snapshot debian-snapshot: TMPFILE := $(shell mktemp) debian-snapshot: make VERSION=$(VERSION) clean cp debian/changelog $(TMPFILE) EDITOR=/bin/true dch -b -v $(VERSION)+1 -D UNRELEASED 'test build, not for upload' echo '3.0 (native)' > debian/source/format debuild -us -uc mv -f $(TMPFILE) debian/changelog echo '3.0 (quilt)' > debian/source/format So I simply had to extract the source from the tar file and execute "make debian-snapshot" and it created all the deb files.
