Just to clarify, /debian/ was never in a previous release that I can find. It was added to support launchpad builds in trunk in Mid-May. The MANIFEST however was incidentally edited from work on this bug https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6593 in Mid-May. I then found including /debian/ wasn't in line with https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6647 to add the files to trunk and the docs at http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/SyncDebianPackaging which said to download trunk. I then found issues when trying to fix hudson/jenkins because of MANFIEST and MANIFEST.skip issues which led to debian having been added to the MANIFEST. So I then removed /debian/ from the Manifest in Late-May in line with the purpose being to support launchpad and be consistent with getting rid of OS specific items in releases in the long-term. If you read the chain of emails at http://old.nabble.com/Updating-debian-build-directory--td31631485.html, it's pretty clear that having it in trunk but not in releases was a compromise in line with the consensus. Synopsis: I am +1 for the tree remaining in trunk. However, I'm leaning towards removing all of the OS/distribution specific stuff from releases as discussed prior and so I consider the current MANIFEST correct but will withhold voting for others to chime in. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
