Hi. Since I haved hacked quite a bit on dpkg-buildpackage in the last one or two weeks I wanted to gather some comments on what people think should be the goal of dpkg-buildpackage development.
dpkg-buildpackage has very seen very few changes in its feature set during its lifetime. The question is whether this was intentional or just due do all former maintainers having other priorities? Obviously one could attempt to merge in new features especially from debuild which reimplements dpkg-buildpackage but with many fancy additions. (While e.g. pbuilder and sbuild wrap dpkg-buildpackage but do not replace it) On the other hand one could argue that dpkg-buildpackage should intentionally remain simple and that people are expected to write their own wrappers or replacements if they need. What do you think? Gruesse, -- Frank Lichtenheld <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> www: http://www.djpig.de/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
