--- Begin Message ---Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.23.2 Control: block 1123583 by -1 Severity: important Hi. I think that amongst the random lossage (which I am working to fix) the src:dgit autopkgtests have detected a regression in the new dpkg-source. STEPS $ dget -d http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/v/vtwm/vtwm_5.4.7-9.dsc $ sha256sum * Expect: 3ba3f8245e1b855d81e6969581c3782e2de1a9faadf0b5fdd21d8761e5ff3c4e vtwm_5.4.7-9.diff.gz ae1fc9c819be88dff5cf07e28b674d1696a1a1907d0e03a9e6c0bb1929e01568 vtwm_5.4.7-9.dsc c62f692c42420666920a23cd489633e91789b379fed13561321b44d9ffa8c9e9 vtwm_5.4.7.orig.tar.gz $ dpkg-source -x vtwm_5.4.7-9.dsc $ ls -l vtwm-5.4.7/debian/rules EXPECTED OUTPUT -rwxrwxr-x 1 ian ian 2034 Dec 19 11:57 vtwm-5.4.7/debian/rules* ACTUAL OUTPUT -rw-rw-r-- 1 ian ian 2034 Dec 19 11:57 vtwm-5.4.7/debian/rules DISCUSSION 1.0-with-diff doesn't represent the executability of debian/rules, so dpkg-source must make it executable with an explicit chmod. This is done by 1.22.21, as shipped in trixie, for example. This change to dpkg-source, which I presume wasn't intentional, has the effect of retrospectively changing the meaning of all exissting 1.0-with-diff source packages. For example, if one does apt source && git init && git add -Af . && git commit the resulting tree object is different before and after this change. And I think this change will make some 1.0-with-diff pacckage building approaches no longer work properly. Direct use of debian/rules won't work, and dpkg-buildpackage will dirty the tree (because it also does chmod +x). Ian. -- Ian Jackson <[email protected]> These opinions are my own. Pronouns: they/he.
