"

"

What is "3.0 quilt" format? any hint?

Hi,

Quilt is a new-ish package format, but it's only valid in karmic and higher because the dpkg support for it only starts in that release.

Woops, I mean lucid and higher.

Thank you.

I see more detail information on package formats, executing a "man dpkg-source".

Finally I hacked the debian/rules file to "downgrade" to 1.0 format version.

Now I'm uploading the new sources for compiling... and hopefully it works.
