Package: gitstats Version: 2010.07.27-1 Severity: normal
>From upstream maintainer. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: gitstats debian gitstats.install Date: Sat, 7 Aug 2010 09:14:12 +0300 From: Heikki Hokkanen <[email protected]> To: Vincent Fourmond <[email protected]> Hello Vincent, There is a minor problem with the Debian version of gitstats because the gitstats binary has VERSION info embedded in it. In the git repository VERSION is set to 0, and every time gitstats is run the version is checked from the repository. Both "make install" and "make release" replace the default value with the current version from the git repository. See getversion() for the details. The problem is that the debianized gitstats skips the makefile altogether, so when using the debian gitstats binary, the version info will be either empty, or contains an invalid hash if the user is running gitstats from a directory of any git repository :-) If you have suggestions for how to fix this in the future, let me know. I guess I could also make a special check for Debian and use the package's version instead (checking if /var/lib/dpkg/info/gitstats.list exists for example). This probably isn't a very good solution either :-) Regards, -- Heikki Hokkanen -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gitstats depends on: ii git [git-core] 1:1.7.1-1.1 fast, scalable, distributed revisi ii git-core 1:1.7.1-1.1 fast, scalable, distributed revisi ii gnuplot-nox 4.4.0-1 A command-line driven interactive ii python 2.6.6-1 interactive high-level object-orie gitstats recommends no packages. gitstats suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
