Re: [Sawfish] creating deb packages from git source

Thanks Chris and Brett, you guys were correct and I was over complicating a simple procedure. Brett, I'll check into fabfile.py when I get a chance. It looks interesting.

Thanks again guys

Why do you through away the debian/ directory?

I recently (re)built Debian packages for sawfish and friends using the
provided debian/ directory and:

 https://github.com/brettviren/sawfish-build

You can see the README there for the few problems I encountered.  They
were rather simple to overcome.
