I'll report back, when done.First off, many thanks to you all for your help.IOhannes helped me putting up a new upstream version 0.3.2, which has now a fixed Makefile and also a license file. So I could remove the quilt patch wierdness.I hope it looks OK now.
I noticed you switched to source version 3.0 from quilt to native. I would suggest to keep using the quilt flavor even if not currently needing any patches: if at some point upstream code is changed - accidentally or deliberately - we want it to be treated by packaging routines as a patch, not a change by upstream.
Ah, one thing: Since it wasn't put to the archive yet, I didn't add a new changelog entry, but updated the existing one. Is this the correct way?
Yes, that's correct. :-) - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
