Package: debhelper Version: 13.31 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected] Control: block 1072698 by -1
Hey, if I read the documentation of the debhelper-compat-upgrade-checklist(7): "The debian/compat file is no longer accepted as a source for specifying the debhelper compat level. Put the compat level in the X-DH-Compat field of the Source stanza of debian/control." This sounds for me that X-DH-Compat is the preferred new way to set the debhelper compat level. From debhelper(7) it sounds more like I need to use X-DH-Compat, because dh 14 is not released yet. debhelper(7): "Note that debhelper does not provide debhelper-compat for experimental or beta compatibility levels; packages experimenting with those compatibility levels should put the compat level in the X-DH-Compat field of the Source stanza of the debian/control file (or, if only for selected commands, the DH_COMPAT environment variable)." Properly debheler(7) is correct so I would recommend to rephase debhelper-compat-upgrade-checklist(7) like this (and remove the Note fter it is released): "The debian/compat file is no longer accepted as a source for specifying the debhelper compat level. The preferred way is to use debhelper-compat (= 14) in the B-Ds. Note that debhelper does not provide debhelper-compat for experimental or beta compatibility levels; packages experimenting with those compatibility levels should put the compat level in the X-DH-Compat field of the Source stanza of the debian/control file (or, if only for selected commands, the DH_COMPAT environment variable)."
