Comment 4 for bug 502191

Hi Cesare,

thanks for that explanations! Here is the changelog entry I will upload:
sdlmame (0.136-0ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * New upstream release - Closes (LP: #502191)
  * debian/rules:
    - Added new make variable NOASM to take advantage of the Assembly core when
      available, and also mandatory on some targets (ARM, for example)
    - Get whatsnew.txt from MAME site in get-orig-source target as it's missing
      in upstream tarball
  * debian/sdlmame.1: updated with new options "listdevices" and "numprocessors"
  * debian/contrib/config/joymap.dat: deleted for obsolete as joystick code is not
    based on SDL anymore

I only have one concern with the whatsnew.txt file, as I think it should be part of the debian directory, and not put in the upstream tarball during the get-orig-source steps. What do you think? This way, you would have, and install, the whatnew.txt file in debian directory.

Thanks,
Fabrice
