Package: devscripts Version: 2.10.25 Severity: wishlist If you try to compare a source packages using Format: 3.0 (quilt) and another source package you will have quite some noise: - due to debian/patches/ being applied by default - due to the .pc directory created by quilt
dpkg-source has new options when extracting such source packages that could be helpful for debdiff: --skip-patches to not apply patches at extraction time and --without-quilt to not use quilt when applying them. (obviously --skip-patches ought to be enough since quilt will not be used if patches are not applied) Note that the content of Format: field might still evolve until the release of lenny. So no hurry to fix this bug, but I thought I would fill it early so that you're aware of the issue. :) Cheers, -- Package-specific info: --- /etc/devscripts.conf --- --- ~/.devscripts --- DEBRELEASE_UPLOADER=dput DEBCHANGE_RELEASE_HEURISTIC=changelog DEBCHANGE_MULTIMAINT_MERGE=yes DEBCHANGE_PRESERVE=yes DEBUILD_LINTIAN_OPTS="--color always -I" -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages devscripts depends on: ii debianutils 2.28.4 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii dpkg-dev 1.14.18 package building tools for Debian ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii perl 5.8.8-12 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii sed 4.1.5-6 The GNU sed stream editor Versions of packages devscripts recommends: ii at 3.1.10.1 Delayed job execution and batch pr ii bsd-mailx [mailx] 8.1.2-0.20071201cvs-2 A simple mail user agent ii build-essential 11.3 informational list of build-essent ii bzr 1.3-1 easy to use distributed version co ii curl 7.18.0-1 Get a file from an HTTP, HTTPS or ii cvs 1:1.12.13-10 Concurrent Versions System ii cvs-buildpackage 5.21 A set of Debian package scripts fo ii dctrl-tools 2.12 Command-line tools to process Debi ii debian-keyring 2007.12.04 GnuPG (and obsolete PGP) keys of D ii debian-maintainers 1.26 GPG keys of Debian maintainers ii dput 0.9.2.30 Debian package upload tool ii dupload 2.6.3.3 utility to upload Debian packages ii elinks [www-browse 0.11.3-6 advanced text-mode WWW browser ii epiphany-gecko [ww 2.20.3-1.1 Intuitive GNOME web browser - Geck ii equivs 2.0.7-0.1 Circumvent Debian package dependen ii fakeroot 1.9.4 Gives a fake root environment ii galeon [www-browse 2.0.4-1 GNOME web browser for advanced use ii git-core 1:1.5.5-1 fast, scalable, distributed revisi ii gnupg 1.4.6-2.1 GNU privacy guard - a free PGP rep ii gnuplot 4.2.2-1 A command-line driven interactive ii iceape-browser [ww 1.1.9-1 Iceape Navigator (Internet browser ii iceweasel [www-bro 2.0.0.13-1 lightweight web browser based on M ii libauthen-sasl-per 2.10-1.1 Authen::SASL - SASL Authentication ii libcrypt-ssleay-pe 0.57-1 Support for https protocol in LWP ii libfile-desktopent 0.04-0.1 Perl module to handle freedesktop ii libparse-debcontro 2.005-2 Easy OO parsing of Debian control- ii libsoap-lite-perl 0.71-2 Client and server side SOAP implem ii libterm-size-perl 0.2-4 Perl extension for retrieving term ii libtimedate-perl 1.1600-9 Time and date functions for Perl ii liburi-perl 1.35.dfsg.1-1 Manipulates and accesses URI strin ii libwww-perl 5.808-1 WWW client/server library for Perl ii links [www-browser 2.1pre33-1 Web browser running in text mode ii lintian 1.23.46 Debian package checker ii lsb-release 3.2-7 Linux Standard Base version report ii lynx [www-browser] 2.8.6-2 Text-mode WWW Browser ii mailx 1:20071201-2 Transitional package for mailx ren ii man-db 2.5.1-3 on-line manual pager ii openssh-client [ss 1:4.7p1-8 secure shell client, an rlogin/rsh ii patch 2.5.9-4 Apply a diff file to an original ii patchutils 0.2.31-4 Utilities to work with patches ii perl [libdigest-md 5.8.8-12 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii strace 4.5.15-1.2 A system call tracer ii subversion 1.4.6dfsg1-2 Advanced version control system ii tla 1.3.5+dfsg-9.1 GNU Arch revision control system ii unzip 5.52-11 De-archiver for .zip files ii w3m [www-browser] 0.5.1-5.1+b1 WWW browsable pager with excellent ii wdiff 0.5-17 Compares two files word by word ii wget 1.11.1-1 retrieves files from the web -- no debconf information -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
