Package: snapraid Version: 12.4-1 Severity: minor Tags: upstream Distribution: trixie
On trixie (stable), snapraid -V prints "snapraid vnone by Andrea Mazzoleni" instead of the actual version number. The bug is not present in forky/sid (13.0-1) where upstream fixed the fallback. *Reproducer:* apt-get install snapraid snapraid -V → snapraid vnone by Andrea Mazzoleni, http://www.snapraid.it *Root cause:* autover.sh in the v12.4 source tree has "none" as its final fallback: if [ -z $VERSION ]; then VERSION="none" fi configure.ac runs autover.sh at autoconf time via m4_esyscmd_s: m4_define([git_revision], m4_esyscmd_s([./autover.sh])) AC_INIT([snapraid], [git_revision], ...) The Debian build (debhelper-compat = 13) re-runs autoconf via dh_autoreconf. At that point there is no .git directory and no .version file in the source tree, so autover.sh returns "none", which gets baked into PACKAGE_VERSION. The version() function then prints "v" VERSION → "vnone". This was fixed upstream in v13.0: the fallback was changed to "0" and the .version file is now checked before git tags. The fix is not present in v12.4. *Suggested fix for the Debian package:* Add an override in debian/rules to write the correct version before dh_autoreconf runs: override_dh_autoreconf: echo "12.4" > .version dh_autoreconf Alternatively, include a .version file containing "12.4" in the orig tarball, or patch autover.sh to replace the "none" default with the actual version string. *Upstream fix reference:* https://github.com/amadvance/snapraid/blob/v13.0/autover.sh Best Regards, Oliver
