Hi,
You can generate a changes file using dpkg-genchanges as long
as you have a changelog file, and a control file.

Umm, so write one. Take a look at another

You can log in to "master" and download the source there, so that it
bypasses your modem.
We _really_ want to distribute the source. It's not Debian policy to
distribute programs without the source if we can get the source at all.

Hi,
[IMHO, in no circumstances does it make sense to cross post to
debian-private, since -private is meant for private stuff, and
the orhers are not]

Hello!
I have a problem with the php3 package. There is the main package which
contains a loadable module for apache called mod_php3.so. There are some
additional packages containing loadable modules for php, like pgsql.so.
