Okay, done: commit b51e4072ef241c625264fcfd5ccb1282e9b65a65 Author: Patrick Ohly <patrick.ohly(a)intel.com&gt; Date: Fri Jan 7 09:29:31 2011 +0100 packaging: removed obsolete "debian" directory The reason for removing it is that it breaks the daily build in Launchpad (see "[SyncEvolution] remove debian/ dir from source"). It wasn't used anymore except in Ove's branch for Maemo 5. Should the files be needed again in git, then the directory should be renamed. > The > debian/ dir used in the Maemo5 packages is modified quite a bit, and > those changes were never (actively) merged back upstream (they're too > platform-specific for that to make much sense).

That reminds me: do you publish your git repo somewhere? It would make sense to merge back your changes into the main repo at least once in a while. -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter.
