Closing cause Rob made it working time ago.
At the moment buildbot generates both deb and rpm packages on demand.

I'm guessing this works now, minor issues aside.

I've never known a project to release it's package building files in anything but trunk or HEAD, and never in a release tarball. For .deb, we just use whatever Ubuntu & Debian are using, as they stay in sync for how they package Gnash.

Fedora uses rpms, not debs. Gnash does have rpm packagaing support, but it's based on our own versions of the gnash.spec file. I doubt anyone but me has ever used them to build rpms, and I know the current version is working for 0.8.3.

The gnash-0.8.3.tar.bz2 file doesn't contain all the files needed to do "make deb". (They are apparently only available in CVS or whatever SCM system we're using today.)

Can we fix this for the next release (and for Fedora and the other distros we have packaging info for)?
