Bug#533495: [debcheckout] Support multiline Vcs-* fields
* Stefano Zacchiroli z...@debian.org, 2009-05-10, 15:58: Vcs-* fields are logically single line. That, to me, would be a full stop sentence. If physically they are split over multiple lines this is fine, but logically they remain one line. If this is the case, then IMO it's dpkg-source job to unfold the field, so that it appears a single line in dsc. Then debcheckout wouldn't require any changes. (dpkg is already aware of existence of Vcs-* fields, so it should be okay to teach it also a bit about their semantics.) -- Jakub Wilk -- To unsubscribe, send mail to pkg-devscripts-unsubscr...@teams.debian.net.

Bug#480852: kill(1posix) should mention that -SIGNAME and -SIGNUMBER are XSI extensions
reassign 480852 manpages-posix 2.16-1 retitle 480852 kill(1posix) should mention that -SIGNAME and -SIGNUMBER are XSI extensions thanks * Adam D. Barratt [EMAIL PROTECTED], 2008-05-12, 12:46: checkbashisms considers `kill -9` as a bashism: $ echo #!/bin/sh tmp $ echo kill -9 foo tmp $ checkbashisms tmp possible bashism in tmp line 2 (kill -[0-9] or -[A-Z]): kill -9 foo Actually, according to POSIX, such a usage is perfectly valid: POSIX itself requires only -s and -l to work; -SIGNAME and -SIGNUMBER are XSI extensions - see http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/95399/utilities/kill.html kill(1posix) manual page fails to mention that, so I'm reassigning the bug. -- Jakub Wilk -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
