Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.22.22 Control: block 1131609 by -1 dgit needs to manipulate source packages, including temporary packages it has just generated, which, naturally, are unsigned.
This causes messages like this: dpkg-source: warning: extracting unsigned source package (/home/ian/.../work/../bpd/example_1.0-1.dsc) I looked in the manual and found `--no-check` but that says it doesn't check checksums either, which is not what's wanted here. There's also -q but that seems excessive. TBH I don't think I agree with this warning in general, so I would be quite happy to see it deleted entirely. I think almost everyone who works with source packages will have become inured to this warning, since they will see it so often in such variety of situations. I guess you won't agree though. In any case, I think manipulating locally generated, unsigned, source packages is normal, and there should be a way to do it that doesn't produce warnings, and that doesn't involve a big hammer like -q. As an addiitonal complication, I would ideally like an option which would be accepted by old versions of dpkg-source. (This situation is similar to an analogous one in gcc, where we eventually persuaded gcc upstream that -Wno-some-warning-that-this-gcc-does-not-understand ought to be a silent no-op, and not generate any warnings unless there are other warnings being generated already.) An environment variable would be one way of achieving this. In #1131881 you suggested filtering the stderr of dpkg-genchanges. dgit could of course take a similar approach with dpkg-source. But that wouldn't solve the problem for other people and other tools. Thanks, Ian. -- Ian Jackson <[email protected]> These opinions are my own. Pronouns: they/he.
