Package: devscripts Version: 2.9.24 Severity: normal Hi,
I see that nmudiff has magically changed behavior overnight, effectively breaking many of my common use cases. First, it now seems to invoke "sensible-editor" (not $VISUAL or $EDITOR) and then /usr/sbin/sendmail it away instead of using mutt. This means that effectively, the diff is several times harder to pick out as an attachment, and worse -- if I change my mind and abort my editor (like I used to abort in mutt), _the message gets sent to the BTS anyhow_. (Yes, I can delete a magical line to prevent it from happening -- but the way to quit my editor is ":q!", not "dd:wq", and my fingers definitely type the former...) I cannot find any meaningful way of reverting to the old behavior; please give at least some option for getting it back. Second, I see that the defaults wrt. --new were simply changed without any good rationale. There was a discussion about this on -devel, with no clear outcome; I do not see why this should just be changed on a whim. (Actually, I cannot recall a single participant actually advocating the current behavior when there are multiple bugs involved.) Currently, I've downgraded to 2.9.22 and held it. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-rc5 Locale: LANG=nb_NO.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=nb_NO.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages devscripts depends on: ii debianutils 2.17.3 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii dpkg-dev 1.13.24 package building tools for Debian ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii perl 5.8.8-6.1 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii sed 4.1.5-1 The GNU sed stream editor Versions of packages devscripts recommends: ii fakeroot 1.5.10 Gives a fake root environment -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
