Package: debhelper
Version: 7.4.9
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/dh_clean
Hi,
I have an upstream orig.tar.gz that contains autom4te.cache
directories. Yeah, I know, bad pstream. But that is how the
orig.tar.gz is. I've imported the upstream source into mercurial using
pristine-tar, added my debian dir and build the source. But when I
want to "hg push" the mercurial repository to our server mercurial
dies with an error about missing files.
The reason for this is dh_clean finding and deleting all
autom4te.cache directories including the repositories copies in
..hg/. To detect this I took away the write permissions to the .hg/
directory and tried to build the source:
fakeroot debian/rules clean
dh_testdir
dh_testroot
dh_clean
rm: cannot remove
`./.hg/store/data/upstream/test/mpi/autom4te.cache/requests.i': Permission
denied
rm: cannot remove
`./.hg/store/data/upstream/test/mpi/autom4te.cache/traces.0.i': Permission
denied
....
dh_clean should not alter any files in .hg, .git, .svn, ... that are
repository metadata and not autom4te.cache files.
MfG
