Re: [Freeciv-Dev] freeciv/debian in dist?

[Lalo Martins <lalo@xxxxxxxxxx>]

On Nov 30, John Goerzen decided to present us with:
[a lot of stuff about .deb files != debian/ directory]

Yes, I know. The "problem" is that we already have the directory
in CVS, and I think it makes little sense to strip it from the
distributions tar. Specially, if I could get debian/changelog in
time, there would be no need for freeciv_*.*.diff.gz (minor
point, of course).

I don't feel like pushing. I'm too happy that the FreeCiv folks
decided to have debian/ in the CVS. I just don't see a reason to
strip it off in the .tar once it's already there.


And BTW. In this particular case, .deb is _not_ so != from
debian/ since I wrote a scrip build.debian that lets
joe-average-debian-user to fetch latest CVS stuff an build a
.deb from it very easily.


What will happen in the end is: either debian/ gets to the .tar,
or I will stop using the .tar - it's a lot easier for me to just
build the packages from CVS.
