Hi
I read somewhere on the website that you where happy to
look at adding distro based packaging data to dabo.
At http://hg.backslashat.org/repos/dabo-deb/ you
can find my Mercurial repo which contains patches to
add debian (And hence unbuntu) style packing meta data.
This is a new directory called 'debian' which contains
all the meta data and make files required by the debian
packaging system.
Oh, this repo is based of http://hg.backslashat.org/repos/dabo-svn
which is an import the svn tree.
Hope this is useful.
TTFN

Yes; we've had several people offer to work on this, but none that
have delivered.

Can you explain that last part? Does that mean that when someone
installs the .deb, it grabs the latest from .svn?

It's a description of how I've structured my hg repos. The dabo-svn
repo follows your (the main) svn repo and then I've colone that to
make the debianisation chnages.
I'n mot sure whether all hg imports of svn are created equal, as
in hg changeset are uniquelly identified by a hash value and I don't no
whether someohere else import will be the same so I've put mine
up so anyone who wants to use my changes with hg can do so more easily.

Nope.
What I've done is added a directory to my own mecurial revsion
control repositry (as I don't have svn write).
To build the .deb you would checkout a version of dabo with the new files
and update debian/changelog if necessary.
Then to build a .deb on a appropriate machine you just run 'debuild'

I think we should:
1) move this discussion to the dev list (dabo-dev@leafe.com)
2) thank you for working on this!
3) add this as a ticket (trac.dabodev.com) - you need to register first
4) Make svn diff of your changes and attach to the ticket
5) I'll apply your patch from the ticket
I see no problem adding this to the dabo trunk.
Thanks again!
Paul
