Package: devscripts Version: 2.13.4 Severity: important It does not make sense to build or clean an unpatched source tree, since the applied patches are considered strictly *part of the source package*. However, `debuild build/clean`, and probably many other tools, still allows this to happen without any warning.
This is partly a fault of policy which is very loose on what is a correct state to initiate build actions from; I will file a separate bug for that too. http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html -- Package-specific info: --- /etc/devscripts.conf --- --- ~/.devscripts --- Not present -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.10-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages devscripts depends on: ii dpkg-dev 1.16.12 ii libc6 2.17-93 ii perl 5.18.1-4 ii python3 3.3.2-17 pn python3:any <none> Versions of packages devscripts recommends: ii at 3.1.14-1 ii curl 7.32.0-1 ii dctrl-tools 2.23 ii debian-keyring 2013.07.31 ii dput 0.9.6.4 ii equivs 2.0.9 ii fakeroot 1.18.4-2 ii gnupg 1.4.15-1.1 ii libcrypt-ssleay-perl 0.58-1+b1 ii libdistro-info-perl 0.11 ii libencode-locale-perl 1.03-1 ii libjson-perl 2.59-1 ii libparse-debcontrol-perl 2.005-4 ii libsoap-lite-perl 0.716-1 ii liburi-perl 1.60-1 ii libwww-perl 6.05-1 ii lintian 2.5.19 ii man-db 2.6.5-2 ii patch 2.7.1-3 ii patchutils 0.3.2-2 ii python3-debian 0.1.21+nmu2 ii python3-magic 1:5.14-2 ii sensible-utils 0.0.9 ii strace 4.5.20-2.3 ii unzip 6.0-9 ii wdiff 1.1.2-1 ii wget 1.14-4 ii xz-utils 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2 Versions of packages devscripts suggests: ii bsd-mailx [mailx] 8.1.2-0.20131005cvs-1 ii build-essential 11.6 pn cvs-buildpackage <none> pn devscripts-el <none> ii gnuplot 4.6.3-2 ii gpgv 1.4.15-1.1 ii heirloom-mailx [mailx] 12.5-2 ii libauthen-sasl-perl 2.1500-1 ii libfile-desktopentry-perl 0.07-1 ii libnet-smtp-ssl-perl 1.01-3 pn libterm-size-perl <none> ii libtimedate-perl 1.2000-1 ii libyaml-syck-perl 1.27-2+b1 ii mutt 1.5.21-6.4 ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:6.2p2-6 pn svn-buildpackage <none> ii w3m 0.5.3-11 -- no debconf information _______________________________________________ devscripts-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devscripts-devel
