dangling symlinks in upstream archive
Hi mentors, I've an upstream archive which contains two dangling symlinks and I obviously want them not to be part of the final binary package, whick is the best solution? I try to remove them but the .diff.gz seems to not consider this fact, so when I extract the debianized source tree the two links are already present; I can put a 'rm' command in debian/rules but I think that is not a "good" solution ...

Why do you need to remove them? As long as they are not installed into the binary package it is not a problem. regards, Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

looking for sponsor
Hi there, I have written a libc name service switch (NSS) module that uses the PostgreSQL database as its backend and packaged it for use in debian systems. Because I work very much with Debian GNU/Linux (in fact I almost use Debian exclusively) I would like to contribute to the project and become a member. I would greatly appreciate seeing my package sponsored by one of you. It can be downloaded at [1] with the main project page beeing http://sf.net/projects/sysauth-pgsql.

Yup. debsign, from the devscripts package, should allow you to do exactly that. Pass it the .changes file as an argument and it should sign both that and the .dsc. thanks, -chris -- "Meat.

Moving packages to non-US.
Hi, I have to move my packages gutenbook and gutenbrowser to non-US because of a dependency on unzip. I'd slipped up on that, and got a bug report to do so. How would I move the packages ? Do I file a bug report against ftp-master for removing the packages from main explaining the case, and upload the packages non-US ? Is there anything else I'm supposed to do ?
