Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.15.8.10 Severity: minor The 3.0 source formats by default ignore what dpkg-source -I would exclude. It appears that as soon as you explicitly use -Isomething, this effect is canceled and you need to use -I to get it back.
In my test case, a directory has .svn directories lying around and uses source format 3.0 (native). Building a source package with dpkg-buildpackage -S excludes the .svn directories from the .tar.gz, as one would expect. But running dpkg-buildpackage -S -Ifoo causes the .svn directories to appear in ..tar.gz. You have to use dpkg-buildpackage -S -I -Ifoo to get the desired outcome. This effect is a bit questionable in my mind, but even it is intentional, it would be good to document it explicitly. (simple addition of "Note: When using an -I option, the default ignores of the 3.0 formats are canceled. You would need to use -I without argument to get them back.) Better yet might be to keep the default ignores always and add an explicit unignore option. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
