All this has been done. > - add non-regression tests on (some of) the modules created This is not yet done but I don't consider it a blocker for the merge. I updated the packages on http://people.debian.org/~hertzog/packages/dpkg_1.14.17~srcv3_i386.changes Feel free to update and test. > http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=12564 > Allow removal of files with patches.

And a --include-removal option has been added to add removed files to the automatic patch generated. > http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=435126 > Ignore by default all VCS specific directories in native tarballs. The 2.0, 3.0 (quilt) and 3.0 (native) formats will ignore by default VCS specific files and other temporary files. FTR, the current changelog entry of the merge looks like this: * Merge of the sourcev3 branch which add support for several new source package formats. - the format "2.0" is the original wig&pen - the format "3.0 (quilt)" uses a tarball for the debian directory and can thus include binary files. Closes: #4588, #4628 - thus it will also preserve timestamps on Debian-provided documentation like README.Debian. Closes: #366555 - it handles an explicit serie of patches and the patch can thus be named without constraints. Patches can contain arbitrary headers/comments between file chunks. Closes: #363018 - it ignores changes on a number of temporary and VCS-specific files by default. Closes: #203792, #323909 - the patches in debian/patches can remove files. Closes: #12564 - the patches are applied at unpack time. Closes: #463048 - the formats "3.0 (quilt/native)" don't include VCS directories by default. Closes: #435126 - the format "3.0 (custom)" can be used to create a source package containing arbitrary files. It's useful for helper tools that can generate the files by themselves in a more efficient way (like all the *-buildpackage tools). Closes: #246918 - the formats "3.0 (git/bzr)" are experimental formats based on corresponding VCS repositories. * dpkg-source has a new --no-check option. It disables GPG check and checksums checks. Closes: #220758 Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog Le best-seller français mis à jour pour Debian Etch : http://www.ouaza.com/livre/admin-debian/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
