Package: devscripts Version: 2.18.1 Severity: wishlist Thanks for wrap-and-sort! It's great to have nice canonicalized-form debian packaging.
Using wrap-and-sort with -ast provides the simplest, cleanest diffs as things change, while still producing an easy-to-read debian/control. I think these three options (--wrap-always, --short-indent, --trailing-comma) should be the default. (this might mean adding inverted options for the people who really insist on using wrap-and-sort in some other way). --dkg -- Package-specific info: --- /etc/devscripts.conf --- --- ~/.devscripts --- DEBSIGN_KEYID=0EE5BE979282D80B9F7540F1CCD2ED94D21739E9 -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'oldstable'), (200, 'unstable-debug'), (200, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.15.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages devscripts depends on: ii dpkg-dev 1.19.0.5 ii libc6 2.27-3 ii libfile-homedir-perl 1.002-1 ii perl 5.26.1-5 ii python3 3.6.4-1 ii sensible-utils 0.0.12 Versions of packages devscripts recommends: ii apt 1.6~beta1 ii at 3.1.20-3.1 ii curl 7.58.0-2 ii dctrl-tools 2.24-2+b1 ii debian-keyring 2018.03.24 ii dput-ng [dput] 1.18 ii dupload 2.9.1 ii equivs 2.1.0 ii fakeroot 1.22-2 ii file 1:5.32-2 ii gnupg 2.2.5-1 ii gnupg2 2.2.5-1 ii libdistro-info-perl 0.18 ii libdpkg-perl 1.19.0.5 ii libencode-locale-perl 1.05-1 pn libgit-wrapper-perl <none> pn liblist-compare-perl <none> ii liblwp-protocol-https-perl 6.07-2 pn libsoap-lite-perl <none> ii liburi-perl 1.73-1 ii libwww-perl 6.33-1 pn licensecheck <none> ii lintian 2.5.81 ii man-db 2.8.2-1 ii patch 2.7.6-2 ii patchutils 0.3.4-2 ii python3-apt 1.6.0~rc2 ii python3-debian 0.1.32 ii python3-magic 2:0.4.15-1 ii python3-requests 2.18.4-2 pn python3-unidiff <none> pn python3-xdg <none> ii strace 4.21-1 ii unzip 6.0-21 ii wdiff 1.2.2-2 ii wget 1.19.4-1 ii xz-utils 5.2.2-1.3 Versions of packages devscripts suggests: pn adequate <none> ii autopkgtest 5.2 pn bls-standalone <none> ii build-essential 12.4 pn check-all-the-things <none> pn cvs-buildpackage <none> ii devscripts-el 36.4 ii diffoscope 93 pn disorderfs <none> pn dose-extra <none> pn duck <none> ii faketime 0.9.7-2 pn gnuplot <none> ii gpgv 2.2.5-1 ii gpgv2 2.2.5-1 ii heirloom-mailx [mailx] 12.5-4 pn how-can-i-help <none> pn libauthen-sasl-perl <none> pn libfile-desktopentry-perl <none> pn libnet-smtps-perl <none> pn libterm-size-perl <none> ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 pn libyaml-syck-perl <none> ii mailutils [mailx] 1:3.4-1 ii mozilla-devscripts 0.47 pn mutt <none> ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:7.7p1-2 pn piuparts <none> ii postgresql-client-10 [postgresql-client] 10.3-2 ii postgresql-client-9.5 [postgresql-client] 9.5.4-3 ii postgresql-client-9.6 [postgresql-client] 9.6.5-1 ii quilt 0.63-8.2 pn ratt <none> ii reprotest 0.7.7 ii svn-buildpackage 0.8.6 ii w3m 0.5.3-36 -- no debconf information
