Hi all, == First proposed MBF: DEHS and the DDPO both have hacks to remove the 'dfsg' part of Debian's version number in case the watch file doesn't do it on its own. This hack is not just ugly, but also bogus.
I would therefore like to file bug reports (severity: minor) against the packages that would be affected once that hack is removed. Based on the lintian check[1] there are 79 affected source packages in unstable/main. The final list of affected packages will be calculated by using DEHS' data, as to reduce the number of false positives, as explained in #505857. Once I file the bug reports I will be giving about two weeks before I remove the hack from DEHS and later from the DDPO. The lintian check has been around for many months now and it has given maintainers enough time to prepare an upload to fix some bugs on their packages so I don't see the need to wait any longer than that. == Second proposed MBF: Version one watch files (actually versionless watch files) have been considered obsolete for more than two releases now. Since a lot of special casing code is needed to handle those I would therefore like to file bug reports against packages shipping that kind of watch files so that the maintainers have a chance to make an upload before the code is removed from uscan. A lintian check[2] has also been in place for many months now, and according to it there are 60 packages in unstable/main with versionless watch files. Is everyone fine with that? Attached are the lists of maintainers and uploaders of the packages involved.
