Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package "personalbackup". IANADD, so I can't sponsor. But my comments, anyways: You should not depend in postgresql, since that is just a transitional package. Depend on an specific version, or on several. In a related note, should you depend on

Interesting thread. I've never thought about generating the tarball this way, though I do have a lot of native packages that probably shouldn't be. If one general-purpose tool to handle this rises to the top and is usable by many people, it would be a good candidate for addition to devscripts. --
