Package: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl Version: 2.045 Severity: wishlist Hi Dominique,
it would be nice if there would be a possibility to add or remove single elements from a comma separated control field like e.g. Uploaders or Build-Depends -- independent of how the control field is formatted or where in the control field the according value is located. If I wanted to script e.g. the removal of an retired Uploader, I'd have to take care of trailing commata, multiline values, etc. which already caused issues in the past, see e.g. the following fixes: http://deb.li/3gqvs, http://deb.li/iOgtU, and http://deb.li/kPcx It would be nice if cme would take that load of the one who has to do such a addition/renaming/removal. It seems as if "cme modify" can do that, but it's a little cumbersome and not very intuitive to use: cme modify dpkg-control ~~ 'source Uploaders~"John Doe <[email protected]>"' Took me many iterations to get that right. An easier and more intuitive to use subcommand would be nice. But maybe this can be also fixed by just adding some more examples to cme(1p). E.g. one thing I would have expected is "-=" instead of "~". Similar for adding I'd expected "+=" instead of ".=", but ".=" is already way more intuitive for adding than "~" for removing.
