Sorry, my last message was sent in HTML, so I'll repeate below: >>>>>>>>> I agree with RjY, this is undesired behaviour to not allow full path of source files int the "Files:" section. What if there are two files with same name in different directories, copying them to the same dir as control file is not possible.
Also, it can't parse white space in file names. <<<<<<<<< I've tested RjY's patch and it works well. It's a simple ans small change that makes a real big difference to anyone doing basic packaging with equivs. Please consider the fix before it's too late to get into wheezy. I started hacking a solution to the white spaces in files names. I got it working for the equivs-build script but then hit a wall when I discovered that dh_install itself does not support white-space in file names / paths. The issue was raised in 2003 and basically the maintainer is not interested in resolving the situation. I find it quite disturbing and unacceptable that we can't have white-space in file names for core packaging tools. Is there something I'm missing here? How can this stay like this for nearly a decade? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
