You don't really get it then... :-)

All files in '.obs' directory are generated by 'gambas-package-config', 
so it's useless to modify them. It's the templates inside 
'gambas-package-config' that must be modified.

Then comparison between your recipe files and the ones generated by 
'gambas-package-config' is not done by hand! Have you never heared of 
'diff' or 'meld'?

You must unpack the 'debian-xxx.tar.gz' file in a directory (let's name 
it 'obs-debian'), and compare it with your the directory of your own 
recipes (let's name it 'my-debian') by running the following command:

$ meld obs-debian my-debian

You will get a automatic and graphic comparison of all files in the two 
directories line by line.

I can do that too, but if you see the differences graphically, you will 
immediately see what is wrong, far faster than me.

OK, I will fix that.

As I said before, no. It's the template file and its associated commands 
that must be fixed.

You are actually diverting 'gitlab' to make your diff. But as I said, 
you get the same result by using 'meld' locally.
