Apparently. From debdiff(1): If debdiff is passed two source packages (.dsc files) it will compare the contents of the source packages. If the source packages differ only in Debian revision number (that is, the .orig.tar.gz files are the same in the two .dsc files), then interdiff(1) will be used to compare the two patch files if this program is available on the system, otherwise a diff will be performed between the two source trees. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Tool suggestions for new formats?
Part of my usual workflow with the 1.0 format is to do an interdiff on the .diff.gz from the previous version to the one I intend to upload, to check that the changes correspond to what my vcs says they are. Now that the changes are in a tarball, are there any recommended tools to do that comparison? A quick check on the intertubes found this http://tardiff.coolprojects.org/ Anyone tried it? What package would this (or some other equivalent but better suggestion) be a good addition to? devscripts? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Is a README.Source required for the new package formats?
lintian is complaining about a package of mine I just converted to 3.0 (quilt) that: W: rep-gtk source: patch-system-but-no-source-readme N: N:This package build-depends on a patch system such as dpatch or quilt, N:but there is no debian/README.source file. This file is recommended for N:any package where dpkg-source -x does not result in the preferred form N:for making modifications to the package. But, since dpkg-source will extract this package into the preferred form for modification, and since I didn't even add quilt as Build-Depends, should I consider this a bug in lintian? I can see, OTOH, the argument that these new formats might need to be documented, since they are so new and not everyone can be expected to know about them.

This bug is currently the only reason for liferea not to be in lenny.

Liferea dies with sqlite 3.5

Merging packages
stunnel (which I'm adpoting) has two mutually incompatible major upstream versions, 3 and 4. Back when 4 was first released, the maintainer packaged it separately, as stunnel4, to avoid the major grief of forcing such an update on users. Since then, stunnel4 has grown a compatibility wrapper script and stunnel3 has been deprecated upstream, with no releases for several years. I would like to finally move the stunnel package over to upstream version 4 and remove the stunnel4 package but I have some doubts on how to proceed and would like some comments. 1. I'll be shipping the compatibility script as /usr/bin/stunnel3 and the main v4 binary as /usr/bin/stunnel4. I'll ship a /usr/bin/stunnel symlink pointing at the wrapper for now, and eventually (after lenny, for sure) change it to point at the v4 binary. 2. Ditto for manpages 3. I will turn the stunnel4 package into a dummy that just pulls the new stunnel. 4. stunnel v3 uses no configuration files, stunnel4 does and its package has them installed on /etc/stunnel4 and similarly named files and dirs. Since the surviving package is to be called stunnel, I think it would be correct for its config files to have no '4' suffix on their names. Nevertheles, I'd like stunnel4 users to have a painles migration, which means somehow grabbing their stunnel4 files and putting them in the new places. Is that a good idea? Should such migration logic be put in the dummy transitional package? Or maybe I should just live with funnily-named conf files for stunnel?

The converse is not true. Sorry, I got lost here.

This sounds similar to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=341537 Try to see if the place where apt is getting stuck is one where it's waiting for input from an external process which might have gotten stuck or dead. -- Rodrigo Gallardo GPG-Fingerprint: 7C81 E60C 442E 8FBC D975 2F49 0199 8318 ADC9 BC28 Billboard billboard burning bright / in my windshield every night.

I think I see the answer to this, but still: How is this different from the -user-* lists? If i'm guessing your intentions correctly, I think it's a great idea, and it's kind of what I try to do on -user-spanish[1]. However, there's a very big problem. How do we avoid burn out? It gets *really* tiresome after a while, answering the same 'please go read the FAQ and don't post in HTML and don't expect me to do your homework'-kind of questions. So, before we try it, any ideas how to avoid that and keep us possible volunteers motivated? [1] And that points out another posible task: Mediating between non-english-speaking users and DDs. Many won't do bug reports because of language barriers. -- Rodrigo Gallardo GPG-Fingerprint: 7C81 E60C 442E 8FBC D975 2F49 0199 8318 ADC9 BC28 signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I was simply speaking from a mathematical perspective.

So, scripting language == pretty much just perl?
And, anyways, vars in Makefiles are $(var). And there's no quotes. And
it substitutes vars in strings.
