Public bug reported: The command git-format-patch has been deprecated and it will not be in PATH for jaunty. It moved from being stored in /usr/bin/git-format-patch for intrepid to being stored in /usr/lib/git-core/git-format-patch in jaunty (this is just while phasing it out though).
This deprecation has already caused people to file bugs on git-core, like this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/git-core/+bug/301905 ---- Anyway, the current user experience for jaunty is that people type: git-format-patch BLAH BLAH and then the command-not-found package will say that the user must install the git-core package to make this command available. The user will then run "sudo apt-get install git-core" and then re-run "git-format-patch BLAH BLAH" only to find that command-not-found still says "git-core" must be installed. USABILITY FAIL. Instead command-not-found should print a text that says: git-format-patch command has been deprecated, use 'git format-patch' instead. If there is no easy way to print such a deprecation message in command- not-found, then I suppose git-format-patch should be delisted in command-not-found (even though this is not an ideal solution). Note that this bug applies to all the git-* command like git-shell, git- upload-archive etc ** Affects: command-not-found (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- command-not-found still suggests git-core for deprecated command git-format-patch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/318433 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
