Package: dh-elpa Version: 0.0.21 Severity: wishlist Some elpa package do not have the ";; Version:" (for example magit, and other package made by the magit developers), but in most situation, the elpa package version is the upstream part of the debian source version.
Adding an way to let dh-elpa know this, would be cool. Or maybe just an option to tell it what elpa version there is (setting "DH_ELPA_VERSION=$(DEB_VERSION_UPSTREAM)" would do in most case, but letting more complex stuff possible). The hack used in magit to let dh-elpa know the version is there, if this is useful. http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-emacsen/pkg/magit.git/tree/debian/rules?id=3e3f6490b788b95e2b990f71ee097771c2b311a9 Maybe no the simple way to do it. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (150, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.6.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages dh-elpa depends on: ii dh-make-perl 0.90-1 ii emacs24 24.5+1-6+b2 ii libarray-utils-perl 0.5-1 ii libfile-find-rule-perl 0.34-1 ii perl 5.22.2-1 dh-elpa recommends no packages. dh-elpa suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Rémi Vanicat > LocalWords: debian dh elpa magit
