Package: fpc Version: 2.2.2-5 Severity: minor Tags: patch Lintian warning: patch-system-but-direct-changes-in-diff "The package uses a patch-system, but the Debian diff.gz contains changes made on files without being separated out in a patch."
The .diff.gz file in the source building process contains a lot of changes in generated files (all but one are Makefiles). Removing the files in the clean rule prevents them from showing up in the .diff.gz making the packaging easier to judge. Attached find a simple patch (against 2.2.2-5) to accomplish this. Note: removing ALL Makefiles result in a FTBFS because the Makefiles in the install dir (two in total) are NOT generated. That is why I did the find on the different directories. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers intrepid-updates APT policy: (990, 'intrepid-updates'), (990, 'intrepid-security'), (990, 'intrepid-proposed'), (990, 'intrepid'), (99, 'jaunty') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.27-10-generic (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=nl_NL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages fpc depends on: ii dpkg 1.14.20ubuntu6 Debian package management system ii fp-compiler 2.2.2-4ubuntu1 Free Pascal - Compiler ii fp-ide 2.2.2-4ubuntu1 Free Pascal - IDE ii fp-units-base 2.2.2-4ubuntu1 Free Pascal - base units ii fp-units-db 2.2.2-4ubuntu1 Free Pascal - database libraries u ii fp-units-fcl 2.2.2-4ubuntu1 Free Pascal - Free Component Libra ii fp-units-fv 2.2.2-4ubuntu1 Free Pascal - Free Vision units ii fp-units-gfx 2.2.2-4ubuntu1 Free Pascal - graphics libraries u ii fp-units-gnome1 2.2.2-4ubuntu1 Free Pascal - GNOME 1 units ii fp-units-gtk 2.2.2-4ubuntu1 Free Pascal - GTK+ 1.2 units ii fp-units-gtk2 2.2.2-4ubuntu1 Free Pascal - GTK+ 2.x units ii fp-units-misc 2.2.2-4ubuntu1 Free Pascal - miscellaneous units ii fp-units-multimedia 2.2.2-4ubuntu1 Free Pascal - miscellaneous units ii fp-units-net 2.2.2-4ubuntu1 Free Pascal - networking units ii fp-units-rtl 2.2.2-4ubuntu1 Free Pascal - Runtime Library Versions of packages fpc recommends: ii fp-utils 2.2.2-4ubuntu1 Free Pascal - Utils -- no debconf information
