(...) I had not mentioned that the subdirectory that the package itself creates is called "diskdev_cmds-332" which tools like dh_make refuse to package: rogerio@dumont:~/src/hfs+/diskdev_cmds-332$ dh_make -e rbrito@users.sf.net -s -f ../diskdev_cmds-332.tar.gz 822-date: warning: This program is deprecated. Please use 'date -R' instead. Package name "diskdev_cmds" is not in a valid format. Debian policy manual states: "Package names must only consist of lower case letters, digits (0-9), plus (+) or minus (-) signs, and periods (.)" rogerio@dumont:~/src/hfs+/diskdev_cmds-332$ So, again my question: should I repackage the upstream sources? And if so, how should that be done, in light of having infra-structure for Darwin (like mounting vfat filesystems, which the Linux kernel has done for ages)? How should I repackage it, if that is the case? Thanks for your kind guidance, Rogério Brito. -- Rogério Brito : rbrito@{mackenzie,ime.usp}.br : GPG key 1024D/7C2CAEB8 http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito : http://meusite.mackenzie.com.br/rbrito Projects: algorithms.berlios.de : lame.sf.net : vrms.alioth.debian.org
