[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#533518: nvidia-graphics-drivers: improved handling of generated files

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: nvidia-graphics-drivers
Version: 185.18.14-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi,

here comes a patch that improves handling of generated files:
* do not regenerate debian/control during build (using code inspired by
  and stolen from linux-support)
* no longer ship generated files in the source package, they are
  regenerated during build anyway
* no more messsing around with debian.binary/changelog

After applying the patch, the following changes have to be made:
* rename debian/control.in to debian/control.gen.in
* remove all generated files (also from svn repository)
  except debian/control (removing everything that's missing after
  running debian/rules clean should be fine)
* there is a new generated file debian/control.md5sum (generated and
  updated during debian/rules clean) that needs to be added to the svn
  repository

debian/rules clean will now regenerate debian/control and
debian/control.md5sum (if neccessary) and the build will bomb if
debian/control{,.md5sum} is not up-to-date
