What would really help with support for this would be if you could provide a sample package in the form of the Lintian test suite (t/tests) that uses Format: 3.0 (quilt). I haven't had time to look in detail at how such packages function, so it would take me longer to create a basic test case so that we can start analyzing Lintian's behavior for those packages. Hi, here's one: dget http://ymir.twb.ath.cx/tmp/midori_0.1.2+94-1.dsc Basically you can make a quilt package (with no patches) by just adding Format: 3.0 (quilt) to the source stanza of an existing package. That's what I've done above. The dpkg-source(1) manpage describes the various 3.0 variants. Basically the difference is that there's a tarball containing debian/ rather than a diff that creates it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
