Nothing, really. They in theory make the process easier/smoother. I've long felt that they were overcomplicated in themselves: the ideal UX should be not much more than "equivs package-name" => ./package-name.deb generated, IMHO. I once had ambitions to add that UX (either as a patch to equivs, or as a separate equivs-ng) but I never got around to it. -- Please do not CC me for listmail. 👱🏻 Jonathan Dowland ✎ jmtd@debian.org 🔗 https://jmtd.net
