In both cases, as I understand it the second upload was accepted by
dak only because the previous "version" of the same tarball was not in
the archive anymore (a newer version had migrated to testing already).
Otherwise, I believe dak would have rejected the upload.
I don't know if the fact dak accepted the 2nd upload of the same (but
not quite same) file is merely due to a bug/limitation in dak or if
that's the intended design; I suspect the former. Either way, I find
it confusing to upload different versions of a file with the exact
same name and it has great potential to build machinery built with
stricter assumptions. For example, FWIW it breaks Tails' mechanism to
take and maintain regular snapshots of the Debian archive.
If that's not too much burden for you, could you please tweak your
packaging workflow so that this does not happen? Thanks in advance!
Hi intrigeri,
It happened because I had to remove pristine-tar = True from my
gbp.conf for building golang packages. I did not notice pristine-tar
option was missing from gbp.conf for a while. So I uploaded first
version without using pristine-tar and Abhijith use pristine-tar.
Usually the packages get rejected but I think it is bug in dak if it
was accepted.
Now I take care of enabling it manually as soon as I finish building a
golang package. I have not figured out a foolproof/automated method
yet. If you have a suggestion I'd be happy to try. Basically I want to
use pristine-tar = True everywhere except for golang-packages. Adding a
gbp.conf to every package could work, but I don't know if that is the
only way.
Thanks
Praveen
Cheers,
