Hi Colin,
Wolfgang Borgert <debacle@debian.org> pointed me to CDBS and I try to
understand it.
After fetching a copy of the CDBS CVS I had a look at the
documentation (which is not included in the deb!) and made some
changes (mainly consistent use of some markup tags regarding
filenames).
Attached you'll find a unified diff of my changes against the CVS
version. Feel free to use this in the way you like.
I'd really like to see the documentation included in the deb (at
least a HTML version) and it would be great if there were more
documentation which tries to describe the different makefile fragments
in detail.
Regards
Michael
