I tested that I could reproduce the dh-make bug with the test case as described in the description on oneiric, and then tested that the version in oneiric-proposed doesn't suffer from the same problem and produces a broadly sensible-looking example source package.
** Description changed: Stable update justification: Impact: New packagers trying to use dh_make in a desktop session started by lightdm get horribly confused when it outputs a huge pile of garbage to debian/changelog and debian/control, due to lightdm not setting LOGNAME while gdm does. (Iain Lane points out that users of zsh are unaffected because it sets LOGNAME itself.) Development fix: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dh-make/0.59ubuntu1 Stable fix: Identical to 0.59ubuntu1, just with a different version number (0.59ubuntu0.1). http://paste.ubuntu.com/716404/ - Test case: Create a dummy package (I created an empty example-0.1 directory and changed into it). Run 'env -u DEBFULLNAME -u DEBEMAIL dh_make'. If this bug is present then you'll see lots of junk in debian/changelog and debian/control rather than valid files. + TEST CASE: Create a dummy package (I created an empty example-0.1 directory and changed into it). Run 'env -u DEBFULLNAME -u DEBEMAIL dh_make' (add '-u LOGNAME' before 'dh_make' to test the dh-make fix even in the presence of a fixed display manager). If this bug is present then you'll see lots of junk in debian/changelog and debian/control rather than valid files. Regression potential: Obviously check that dh_make still actually works, but I think this update is pretty safe. Original report follows: Please read this description published on ubuntuforums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1861850 I'm also affected by this bug and I can add a little detail - dh_make put list of users to debian/changelog. I think that this is critical bug in oneiric. ** Tags removed: verification-needed ** Tags added: verification-done -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875705 Title: dh_make in Oneiric outputs wrong content to changelog To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dh-make/+bug/875705/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
