Package: git-dpm Version: 0.8.5-1 Severity: wishlist -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256
Dear Maintainer, Currently, update-patches emits d/patches files that start with a 4 digit number and a dash-separated list of words which are taken from the first line of the Subject: header. I'm told the systemd maintainers have configured git-bp to not use patch numbers, and it seems like it would be better to let maintainers have more control over their patch file names in git-dpm too. Would it be possible to add an option (in a config file a la debian/gbp.conf?) so that 4 digit numbers were not prepended to the front of the file name? You'd have to use d/p/series to determine patch order. Also, it would be nice if we could control the rest of the name of the patch file. One idea would be to allow us to edit the Subject: field in the master branch, then do: * git-dpm checkout-patched * git-dpm update-patches --redo and the file names would be regenerated from our changes in the Subject field. E.g. if I currently have this in d/p/0003-Various-fixes-to-get-some-semblance-of-the-test-suit.patch: Subject: Various fixes to get some semblance of the test suite passing at package build time. This isn't perfect because tox's tests depend on tox being built and installed - a catch 22. However, we can do a lot and there are DEP-8 tests to handle the rest of it. I could edit this in my master branch to be: Subject: build time test skips Various fixes to get some semblance of the test suite passing at package build time. This isn't perfect because tox's tests depend on tox being built and installed - a catch 22. However, we can do a lot and there are DEP-8 tests to handle the rest of it. Now after the checkout-patched/update-patches roundtrip, my file would be called d/p/built-time-test-skips.patch and the Subject in the file would be preserved, i.e.: Subject: build time test skips Various fixes to get some semblance of the test suite passing at package build time. This isn't perfect because tox's tests depend on tox being built and installed - a catch 22. However, we can do a lot and there are DEP-8 tests to handle the rest of it. This would give more control to the maintainer about how their master branch looks, and improve the readability of their DEP-3 headers. - -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.14-2-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages git-dpm depends on: ii git 1:2.1.0-1 git-dpm recommends no packages. git-dpm suggests no packages. - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJUCcgqAAoJEBJutWOnSwa/YagQAJpWowhT8RArpgmbiTHxaASB JnI9G+RYIfMz4Poyeh82MzFG9uJGIMGZLyFOk0e80pbkva1JqiSjrHvcb+QxZtjg wDbXxDxLrK002Y9Tk3TEVY7xb4fVhbdpMqVIFVNyc5mA1NFjRoF+mkeVjird8YLz scpgfxw1sIMxHSGJ2oqp6smAcb0AWsKeswKjAVu4fYHx0o26YKxX0o5ZL+Bvifgn rBNV31LDvUJF4uXiLvoP4o1N7AO1+1gyoowAFgeWQQlTAEu3gRgP+lJxtZG8qezv l8o9WtCNEFuKyr6L0SMyJqt4rp4OPRhNcvCi+nXL+gIYb9bAgDjr/LnuV5oikxA2 bRC03cVv5UIt/dC0oDcHEdYHaqd5DgjFN7TrZB7d2n67HPdxCgkhsHfF8Bvqi+Bq ocJ+l9rnoRD2lpjsuQdALwIcYuJRt0iw061x+Ts8cL3givX7hD7VKs7lAQfh7wr1 YxiqHcB6sVlFsV37YK9IoBiQk/Tm3H+xJaC/sfiMb9I92IWCTwSczBHq/qOr4Zpv 4I1TDpFJV0aGVyRjn7w+0FfNE6+ai0uNsbA2WOdnH4rVgsiXED6xZOvNHkYZba8x w9mf+00CLMsCZqXg5876/UvnqSyePqldR4KbDDBnQmaUwfCoVqZEgVDxR4CDdAVt yNBbcgwB+fFaWZ6l1CYR =rd5L -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
