Package: darcs-buildpackage Version: 0.5.12 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/bin/dbp-importdsc
As an experiment, I tried dbp-importdsc'ing old versions of the "crawl" package from snapshots.debian.net. The resulting patches could be significantly improved. Just look at the output from "darcs changes debian/changelog": Changes to debian/changelog: Fri Aug 15 12:51:49 EST 2008 Trent W. Buck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Imported crawl-4.0.0beta26 into Darcs repository Fri Aug 15 12:51:29 EST 2008 Trent W. Buck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Imported crawl-4.0.0beta26 into Darcs repository Fri Aug 15 12:51:09 EST 2008 Trent W. Buck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Imported crawl-4.0.0beta26 into Darcs repository The author, date, and changelog description from patches created by importdsc should be imported from the associated debian/changelog entry. In particular, the epoch and debian revision should be preserved! Here's an example of what I expect darcs changes to print for an imported patch: Mon Oct 17 21:00:58 EST 2005 Guus Sliepen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Imported crawl 1:4.0.0beta26-6. * Fix possible uninitialised string when casting Blade Hands spell. Thanks to Ilya Kasnacheev for noticing. Closes: #325706 * Apply patch from Kalle Olavi Niemitalo to fix uncursing of Enchant Armor spell.
