Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.13.22
Severity: normal
dpkg-scanpackages can be used to create Package files for udebs using
the -u option. Unfortunatly it does not handle the Package attributes
"Kernel-Version" and "Installer-Menu-Item", leaving a Package file
unusable with anna and therefore e.g. as part of a installation CD.
It should be no risk to add both attributes to the global attributes, so
I created a small patch doing this:
--- /usr/bin/dpkg-scanpackages 2006-06-21 17:08:36.000000000 +0200
+++ build-amd64/usr/bin/dpkg-scanpackages 2006-08-20 17:54:06.000000000
+0200
'MD5sum',
'Description',
'Origin',
- 'Bugs'
+ 'Bugs',
+ 'Kernel-Version',
+ 'Installer-Menu-Item'
);
# This maps the fields into the proper case
Hope that may help.
Thanks for the great work
Dieter
