That sounds like an approach we could take (at least if we cannot trivial determine how the packages are related). I will probably get back to this when I am done refactoring/reducing the size of frontend/lintian. Speaking of unpacking; as I understand it we once had an "unpack-level 2" which has now been removed in favour of collection. I am considering to remove the "unpack-level 1" as well and move everything to collection as a part of this. I feel the unpack code makes the lintian code harder to read and understand. If we migrate the last of the unpack stuff to collection I think we can reduce the complexity of the "PACKAGE: foreach" loop considerably. I.e. It took me a while to figure out that the $unpack_level is either 1 (if $action is "check" or "unpack") or 0 if $action is "remove" in the "PACKAGE: foreach". No other $action reaches that far and the user cannot influence $unpack_level (beyond changing $action). ~Niels -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJNJgLwAAoJEAVLu599gGRCsyUQAIDkADGQDPMV4CNBwyE+eQyq UZV7Z6dJ4v0BeqanzjlAtP/VUG94OKJIaCPNH6M5KL1Bxl+PVYGGgujvEPS+PNQ7 Xx96Sb3CFQHtpBcgDaeWZxqG3qA5ORZXT6qpdEa41TGFEgHu8xXcMjoEoqq6vm2w Zx39vU+4wMdbW03Cphgfa+DCMANJWGDHYc32vDQM4VJLinshKvIYm8MyNqKKDHYJ OIImI0PfU5wg8ekT7JxR3FzBm6/h3tSAi+dZoJCoZhN+Bh38xSfnMvDLU4/Ok9tx BWva3RSKfdS5GBHint4HGh7YqSs4KlhaMg4l3QKDwCJaE9G277eYNiAJQ8gSpaU7 PCXjjMVhjMVfM66+vjjpRUaFjTsz8RD27YtgLtw0az+6cWX3LyCvsNceb4OMkMYT 62tZ9xNG5a9KzquTshfeM9GGAIA0ARrIQnLaMErvf3UQ+wRokHVCwqrr66iZAxFA dab/g+Mw1FLUJGHC9pm9rGxupoz5moq9SoomHCbZXpcqT+uMKfWZuNoE7Cy9WFZp SWDDlWK+JLIvcIPULV2K0RuVL9sEEexr6AG9oIPNLOlm7MWOYOWaE4CG9D/P/aTX 7R1nQCVU06l9NwtYfjBYCv1xM5KmSLm8h4LSPt9gCzAyx8pOae4+Tlzs8JeFOFby TXSIH9Na9HeW2VR0+72W =00mE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
