I have let some non-standard source directory names drift in. The source directory should be the same as the package name. If the tar ball is named foo-1.3.2-15.tar.bz2 the source directory should be foo-1.3.2-15. I didn't realize until recently that a lot of people were not following this convention but this is the convention that I'd like to see going forward. cgf
