Lintian supports some spell checking, including 'spelling error in binary'. Maybe their power could be united? pgpz1KYduQf4z.pgp Description: PGP signature

It breaks my workflow ;) I use pristine-tar(1) to store orig tarballs with their upstream signature in git. dpkg-buildpackage(1) do not extract orig.tar.gz from `pristine-tar' automatically, so I add `get-orig-source' rule that invokes `pristine-tar(1)' with proper arguments. I have debian/watch too, but it `uscan(1)` would require network access. How can I do better with new Policy?
Different priorities on different architectures
Hello! Recently I got report (and I can confirm) that libgdbm5_1.14.1-6 have different priorities on x86 and amd64. In source package it is optional, I checked. I doubt it matter, but that they have different versioned dependencies on libc. Any suggestions, what else to check and how to fix? $ apt-cache show libgdbm5 i386 Package: libgdbm5 Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: libs Installed-Size: 106 Maintainer: Dmitry Bogatov https://gnu.org/software/gdbm amd64 - Package: libgdbm5 Source: gdbm Version: 1.14.1-6 Installed-Size: 103 Maintainer: Dmitry Bogatov https://gnu.org/software/gdbm Section: libs Priority: important Filename: pool/main/g/gdbm/libgdbm5_1.14.1-6_amd64.deb Size: 57324 MD5sum: f849db5d910f6364d8e3cecb2094e845 SHA256: 2bc8d7f6d794bd4f16d2c4c369573ee2eeca43627542bc8b189af8514c9376dd pgp2GdQqxSA64.pgp Description: PGP signature

When invoked as /bin/sh, GNU Bash works in Posix-emulation mode, and it is not that bad: $ cat foo.sh alias ls='echo foo' ls $ /bin/dash foo.sh foo $ /bin/bash foo.sh example.gdbm firefox-esr_iu [.. other junk in my /tmp ..] $ chpst -b /bin/sh bash foo.sh foo
Bug#747083: ITP: xcape -- use a modifier key as another key
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: KAction * Package name: xcape Version : 1.1 Upstream Author : Albin Olsson * URL : https://github.com/alols/xcape * License : GPL Programming Lang: C Description : use a modifier key as another key xcape allows you to use a modifier key as another key when pressed and released on its own. Note that it is slightly slower than pressing the original key, because the pressed event does not occur until the key is released. The default behaviour is to generate the Escape key when Left Control is pressed and released on its own. (If you don't understand why anybody would want this, I'm guessing that Vim is not your favourite text editor ;) This package is currently the only maintained of its kind, as far as I know. I am using it around year, no problems occured. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
