<br>

I seem to have come across a couple issues for which I cannot find any

resolve. The first being, we use TLA here and CDBS seems to freak out

about the {arch} directory. I have modified the actual package name for

this mailing list, however the following text is the error I receive:<br>

<br>

I can build the package if I move the {arch} directory somewhere else.

However, I am hoping I can simply add a flag to exclude it from the

diff and everything will work as expected.<br>

<br>

<br>

The next issue I have encountered is with tarballs which contain

multiple directories at the root level of the tar, opposed to having a

single directory which contains everything else inside. It seems I

cannot specify multiple directories for DEB_TAR_SRCDIR -- If there is a

way to do this, I would really to know. Presently, the only two options

I seem to have to correct this is to either alter the upstream tarball

or put a bunch kludge to my debian/*.files<br>

<br>

Any help on these matters would be appreciated. Thanks!<br>
