Salut Philippe,

NB: j'ai pas pu déchiffrer ton mail du 05/04 12:17. Pb MIME ? Email
vide ?


En effet il faut avancer. Tu as raison de me solliciter à nouveau.
Je me bloque une heure ce soir et demain soir pour travailler avec toi
sur le sujet ;).

Je vais récupérer les dernière sources de FreeWRL et voir si la
compilation passe bien. Si elle passe bien je taggerai une version et
je ferai un tarball.

Côté repository git pour stocker le sous-rép debian/ je ne l'ai pas
encore cloné. Mais je vais le faire ce soir. On ne stocke que le
sous-rép git dans cette repository.

Mail joint : les remarques d'un Debian monsieur...

à+
Michel

We need debian dir to be separate from upstream source tree.  This way, an
upstream tree (without debian dir) produces freewrl_1.22.5.orig.tar.gz
(note the .orig).

Then, when you unpack this and put your debian dir in it, dpkg-buildpackage
will DTRT and generate a freewrl_1.22.5-1.diff.gz, which contains the debian
directory.
