Bug#886643: ed help request
Hello. The attached suggestions will hopefully help packaging 1.14.2. You should also have received a carbon copy of a question to http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-ed about the GPL version change in the source headers. suggestions.tar.gz Description: application/gzip

Thanks! First, this header is not documented in the Debian Policy (or I overlooked it?). Then, why should it be in d/control at all? And, well, it is the main argument, I'd say. Second, currently ed package has Architecture: any in d/control, which is obvious, I guess. As I understand (well, maybe I'm wrong), it should be Architecture: all in the first place. Third, ed is not a library. Fourth, the package contain one binary, one script (to run the binary in a restricted mode), and a bit of documentation. So, if you want to use Multi-Arch: foreign to save some space, well, maybe 25KB. Then, what is the point of having Multi-Arch on a system, where you need to fight for 25KB? Finally, I understand that Multi-Arch: foreign makes a package not co-installable, so preference should be given to the package with native architecture. I see this point, so if you or Martin or anyone else want to have it, then I'm happy to add it back. I'm not insisting, but could you then document it in the Debian Policy, please? Or at least mention it there and point to some good documentation. Cheers! Lev

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 Hi Martin, I'd like to help with maintaining ed. My personal workflow is around gbp, so I've did some changes and setup a repository on Salsa [0] just to show you what I did. Please, take a look and if my workflow fits I'll set up a repository in Debian group and proceed with more (rather minor) changes. In a nutshell currently I've migrated from source 1.0 with dpatch to 3.0 (quilt), migrated to dh 11, and cleaned d/rules a bit. Also I'd update ed to the most recent upstream version (currently, 1.14.2; uscan don't show new versions simply because upstream migrated from *.tar.gz to *.tar.lz). You can clone the repository using the following link: g...@salsa.debian.org:dogsleg/ed_tst.git Cheers!
