command to use in deploy instructions for custom repo
Hello. I have a custom APT repo (for squeeze/wheezy/jessie) for my software and Readme page for it with install instructions. It contains the following line: echo "deb http://SOMEURL/debian/current $(lsb_release -sc) main"|sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/SOMEREPO.list recently I found this line is wrong: 1) lsb_release is not available in some debian installs (minimal install? rasberry-pi ? ) 2) if user uses FISH as login shell , this expression "$(lsb_release -sc)" won't work. 3) probably some users would want to use "stable" instead of "wheezy" etc. What is the recommended way to write such install instructions?

> We'd need to ask a lawyer to get an useful answer to that question, I think. The problem is that I do not know a lawyer that I could just ask. And I am German, another dev is American, so I have no idea whether to ask a German or an American lawyer. We already have the name in the description. I mean, it would be pointless to avoid this name. It serves as identification, not really using the trademark to sell our “product”.

That is the problem, it is just screen rotation and docking. “-scripts” sounds like some assorted scripts, and does not feel like it is claiming to be complete like “-utils” would. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

The earlier the rename is, the less work it is. I like "thinkpad-scripts". I think "thinkpad-tools" would not be a good idea, nor would "thinkpad-utils", though. Mostly because the package would not contain the majority of the stand-alone thinkpad-specific tools and utils (such as tpb, thinkbat, thinkfan, etc). -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.

Okay, “thinklight” does not count, then. The question is, whether using “thinkpad-” would cause any trouble with trademarks? I think “thinkpad-utils” or “thinkpad-tools” or “thinkpad-scripts” is an improvement. Would those be okay with you? The problem is that it started as a single rotation script and then evolved into a collection of scripts that do docking, rotating and other stuff. The earlier the rename is, the less work it is. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Does it really make sense to rename this > to `thinkpad`, when there are other packages like `thinkfinger` and > `thinklight`? thinklight is the (trademarked!) name of a ThinkPad "thinkvantage" feature, which I hope will come back someday, just like proper LCD screens came back with the 2013/2014's series-40 (as long as you get a FHD/FHD+/3K IPS screen, that is). I don't know about thinkfinger, it is a bit of a misnomer as it is not even thinkpad-specific in the first place. I'd have complained about it had I noticed it in time. IMHO, the "think-rotate" naming is weird, but given that we accepted "thinkfinger", it is not a big deal. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.

More than 10 monthes have passed since this *suggestion* and nobody minded about some competing *solution* to Files-Excluded. I did a lot of work explaining both alternatives on the Wiki page (it is removed now since devscripts authors accepted the implemented code for Files-Excluded in Git). Since Debian is a Do-O-cracy those things are winning that can attract volunteers who *do* the actual work. The other alternative did not which in turn means it was not convincing enough. > The solution in > http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=685506#50 > is not just "not nice", it's less machine-readable. In how far do comments need to be machine readable. We are talking about comments and comments are by definition free text and there is no need to parse this. So I keep on failing to see the advantage of "Removed-Files" over "Files-Excluded" and your arguments do not really convince me. > PS: I'm DM, so - you can grant me upload permission > for this package if you trust my work enough.
