Package: devscripts Severity: wishlist Hi. Thanks for wrap-and-sort.
What do you think about sorting header fields in some "best" order? To illustrate, I help maintain two projects and as you can see below from the control file, the header fields are sorted differently. I can't find any wrap-and-sort option to "canonicalize" the sort order. I wish the headers was sorted the same way, and not have to modify this manually. Is this possible? Of course, what the "best" order is subjective, and a whole can of worms to settle. Personally I'd take any deterministic sort order over the current manually maintained behaviour. How about starting with alphabetic sort ordering, with the exception to keep 'Source:' as the first line? Having Uploaders be on the line after Maintainer would be another correction. I'm sure once this is implemented and invoked on real packages some other "obvious" corrections will be discovered. /Simon Source: socket-wrapper Homepage: http://cwrap.org/socket_wrapper.html Section: devel Priority: optional Maintainer: Debian SSSD Team <pkg-sssd-de...@alioth-lists.debian.net> Uploaders: Laszlo Boszormenyi (GCS) <g...@debian.org>, Timo Aaltonen <tjaal...@debian.org>, Simon Josefsson <si...@josefsson.org> Build-Depends: debhelper-compat (= 13), ...
