If you do that, your .diff.gz will try to have a binary file in it. You can cure that by converting the graphic into a base64 encoded text file, for the diff.gz, and then in debian/rules, when you go to install it in `build', you turn it back into a graphic and install that.

Why does `guile-1.2' have `libguile.so.2.0.0'?

Why is the library numbered as .so.2.0.0, rather than as `.so.1.2.0'? I would like to rename it, to `.so.1.2.0', and make the snapshot be `.so.1.3.1'. Is there a way to do that without causing lots of problems? It would be good to have the library bear the actual version number, and to mak

`libguile' installs a file called "/usr/share/aclocal/threads.m4", which seems to me like a poor choice of name for it, since it's too generic. Shouldn't this be renamed to something like `guile-threads.m4'? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Troub
