package: ftp.debian.org Hi,
<h01ger> hiho. the kdebindings 4:4.3.4-1+b1 binNMU produced an interesting
depends: python-sip4 (>= <none>), python-sip4 (<< <none>+~) - which breaks
the piuparts dependency parser, and i guess it will break other stuff as well
<h01ger> shouldnt dak prevent such packages from entering the archive?
<Ganneff> should it?
<h01ger> i think so, yes
<h01ger> "<" and ">" are not valid characters in version strings i'd say
<Ganneff> the only thing we check right now is for existance of the field
<Ganneff> not for its validity
<Ganneff> to some extent we probably could.
<Ganneff> the depends check should actually not be too hard, if we limit it
for "are the version numbers correct"
<Ganneff> could pipe it through the same regex than the version of the package
<Ganneff> (syntactically correct, that is)
<h01ger> Ganneff, will quote you in the bugreport
<Ganneff> h01ger: queue.py line 582 and refer to 563 also
OTOH phil said:
<phil> It would be cool if dpkg could syntax check a package.
<phil> To avoid duplicating everything everywhere. -_-
So maybe this bugreport should also be cloned and reassigned to dpkg. Still I
think this check belongs in dak too :-)
cheers,
Holger
