I\'m just trying to build a deb with the svn code. There is a debian directory in the source but it doesn\'t work with it. I\'m not good enough to find out the reason for the failing of dpkg-buildpackage

The configure steps shows the following result:

= The following extra functionality will be included:
= + GStreamer-engine
= + xine-engine
= + XMMS Visualization Wrapper
= + Konqueror Sidebar
= + MusicBrainz Support
Make is ok, then dch -v 1.3-svn20050725 svn build and the next build step fails with:
dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -nc -rfakeroot
...
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/beavis/myth/multimedia/amarok\'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `reverse-config\'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/beavis/myth/multimedia/amarok\'

Can I just delete the patches directory: amarok/debian/patches?

When I remove it it shows me:

touch debian/stamp-autotools-files
chmod a+x /home/beavis/myth/multimedia/amarok/./configure
chmod: cannot access `/home/beavis/myth/multimedia/amarok/./configure\': No such file or directory
make: *** [obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/config.status] Error 1

Are here any debian package experts? Would be great an up2date debian directory in the repository.

did you somehow miss the
debian/____IMPORTANT_____THESE_FILES_NOW_LIVE_ELSEWHERE

Ok, when I look at the changelog is the debian folder really gone. So what\'s the new location of the debian directory? I can\'t check it anymore in my source tree.
There\'s also no starting point for all users wanting to build an svn deb now.

Well, it is kind of your fault.

It\'s at:
svn co svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-kde/people/dat ... unk/amarok

We should probably document this somewhere, I\'m not sure where though.
