Bug#327127: darcs-buildpackage: should no rebuild .orig.tar.gz file if debian version is not -1
Hello John and Peter, * John Goerzen [EMAIL PROTECTED], [2005-09-07 15:50 -0500]: On Wed, Sep 07, 2005 at 10:02:41PM +0200, Peter Van Eynde wrote: It cannot recreate the exact same .orig.tar.gz file, so the upload will fail. True. The system should detect that when there is no .orig.tar.gz file and it is creating a higher version release (ie not -1) it should bail out or (better) use apt-get source to get the .orig.tar.gz file. I'm not so sure about this part. Perhaps an all-caps warning is in order, but for me, part of the allure of this tool is the ability to go back in time and build working source and binary packages. Uploading them to Debian isn't always the end goal. There is also no guarantee that a user's apt-get would be configured in such a way that it can obtain the source for the version in question. So I'm inclined to tag this one wontfix and set it to wishlist, but I'm interested in your thoughts on what I've said. I agree with you, and everything works fine if one switches to darcs-buildpackage for a new upstream release or an initial debianization. But is a full source upload the correct way for switching to darcs-buildpackage for a 1 Debian revision? If so, why not stating it into the docs? Maybe even an all-caps warning at the end of the building process which informs you that the .orig.tar.gz has been changed could be very helpful. ciao, ema signature.asc Description: Digital signature
