[pkg-nvidia-devel] [n-g-d 190xx] directory layout proposal for moving to source format 3.0 (quilt)

[Andreas Beckmann]

Hi Russ,

eventually the following directory layout will be suitable for moving to
 format 3.0 (quilt). Primarily that requires removing everything from
the root and putting it under debian/ (so it goes into the
.debian.tar.gz instead of some patch). Fortunately after all my patches
not that much is left in the root directory :-)


debian/
    module-source/    (better name welcome)
        debian/       (from /debian.binary/)
        Makefile      (from /Makefile)
        conftest.h    (from /conftest.h)
        conftest.sh   (from /conftest.sh)
        patches.h     (from /patches.h)

debian/module-source would contain in one place everything that is
copied over the nvidia module source.


Should we add $(debian.binary)/source/format = 1.0, too? Just for
completeness?
Since the package is not unpacked/built the "regular" way (but using m-a
(or even manually) which does 'tar xfj' instead of 'dpkg-source -x') I
don't see any way to use a source format other than 1.0 there.
