Ah, OK. In future, do you prefer to create orig.tar.gz with the build files=
=20
included, or (my preference) without, the buildprep.diff containing=20
everything?

True. I had envisioned the buildprep.diff as being created by the uploader=
=20
every time, but now that you mention it, I suppose we could simply create=20
the buildprep.diff after each upstream release/branch pull/new patch that=20
affects the build system, and check it into svn. Then everything is=20
absolutely standardized, and it's really easy to start a build.

Cheers,
Christopher
