Subject: naming convention?

Hi,

I see a lot of different naming conventions. My dchanges3.3 seems to enforce:

name-version-debrev.arch.deb

but I see some: (which i would prefer)

name_version-debrev.arch.deb

or even:

name_version-debrev_arch.deb

Which one is the right for debian Packyges?

Greetings
Bernd

The last one, upgrade to dchanges 3.4, using dpkg-name to name you packages
makes things a lot simpler for you as well.

Use dpkg-name to create your package name and it will always be correct.

Once again, it absolutely does not matter.  You can call the file
Bernd.deb if you want.  *ALL* files are automatically renamed when
they're installed.

Hi,

> Bernd.deb if you want.  *ALL* files are automatically renamed when

yes, but I want to be sure that "debian.rules" build them correct (and
especially that dchanges works with it.)

Greetings
Bernd

BTW: The Packages file should be compared with the old one, in case tha
there is no change. This will avoid additional traffic and confusion (why
has the Package file in the untouched buzz dir changed?).

BTW2: ftp.debian.org doent mention the debian archive in its welcome-screen.

Maintainer & priority changes.

The debian archive?  Surely anyone who is reading the message has
already found an ftp site.

The one with underscores, which is used by dchanges-3.4. You need to
upgrade.

Ciao, Emilio.
