Package: fair Version: 0.5.3-3 Severity: serious Tags: patch sid User: helm...@debian.org Usertags: dep17m2
This package is part of the /usr-move (DEP17) transition, because it contains files in aliased locations and should have those files moved to the corresponding /usr location. The goal of this move is eliminating bugs arising from aliasing, such as file loss during package upgrades. You may add dh-sequence-movetousr to Build-Depends to perform the move. The main advantage of this method is the low effort and it just works when backporting to bookworm. However, it is more of a stop-gap measure as eventually the installation procedure should refer to the files that are actually used for installation. This often means updating debian/*.install files but also changing flags passed to a configure script or similar measures. In case you do not anticipate your package being uploaded to bookworm-backports, please prefer a manual move, but generally prefer moving over delaying any further. After having done this move, please keep in mind that the relevant changes need to be reverted for bookworm-backports, with these exceptions: * dh-sequence-movetousr and dh_movetousr cancel themselves. * dh_installsystemd and dh_installudev revert to the aliased location. * The pkg-config variables systemdsystemunitdir in systemd.pc and udevdir in udev.pc reverts to aliased. Please keep in mind that restructuring changes may introduce problems after moving. A change is considered restructuring if formerly aliased files formerly owned by one package are later to be owned by a package with a different name. Such uploads should be done to experimental and quarantine for three days before moving to unstable. This way, automatic analysis (https://salsa.debian.org/helmutg/dumat) can detect problems and file bugs. Such bugs shall include support for resolving the problems.
