[Privoxy-devel] Privoxy packaging for Debian

[Fabian Keil]

Hi Roland,

could you please briefly describe how you currently create
the Debian packages?

I would like to update the developer-manual which seems to
be incomplete at the moment.

Could you also please commit the changes to the ./debian
files you made for the 3.0.29 packages?

Would it be possible for future releases to commit the
changes to the ./debian files before the tree is tagged?

To make GPL compliance more convenient I think it would
be great if the Debian packages could be easily (re)created
from a Git checkout which currently doesn't seem to be the case.

Somewhat related, it's not clear to me why we currently
don't ship the ./debian files as part of the source tarball.

Do you have an opinion about this?

It looks like the commit that introduced the exclusion
back in 2002 provided no justification:
