Package: config-package-dev Version: 5.1.2 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
I have a use case where I would like to transform and displace a file shipped from the same upstream source, so that 2 binary packages (that conflict with each other) can be built from the same repository without having to keep local copies. The first check, dpkg-divert --truename, immediately fails if the path is not absolute. A simple patch is inlined. Kind regards, Luca Boccassi From 15864748b3170217ed0665e3cc2716c1fdf6754c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Luca Boccassi <[email protected]> Date: Sun, 11 Jun 2017 16:29:49 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] transform: let users pick local files as source In some case it's desirable to use a local file as the source of the transform operation. For example, an upstream file from the same repository that could be sourced at built time.
