Bug#662946: bug 662946 equivs: does not strip subdirectories from files to be installed
Hello, any chance that the patch that allows files in subdirectories be applied soon without the additional feature of allowing spaces in file names?

Bug#662946: bug 662946 equivs: does not strip subdirectories from files to be installed
Well, I can agree with you to a certain extent. I wouldn't use whitespace in any of my projects files. However I'm packaging Digikam, one of the shining stars of the open source world IMHO. And it includes a few files with white space in the names, files designed for humans, not computers or programmers like us. Bottom line is I can't package it unless I do something far worse than white space in file names. PS, thanks for the reply... and for the great software that got me into debian packaging. I use equivs-build to package for PCLinuxOS too. I found it easier to make a simple deb and alien it rpm than to figure out how make a simple rpm.

Sorry, my last message was sent in HTML, so I'll repeate below: > I agree with RjY, this is undesired behaviour to not allow full path of source files int the "Files:" section. What if there are two files with same name in different directories, copying them to the same dir as control file is not possible. Also, it can't parse white space in file names. < I've tested RjY's patch and it works well. It's a simple ans small change that makes a real big difference to anyone doing basic packaging with equivs. Please consider the fix before it's too late to get into wheezy. I started hacking a solution to the white spaces in files names. I got it working for the equivs-build script but then hit a wall when I discovered that dh_install itself does not support white-space in file names / paths. The issue was raised in 2003 and basically the maintainer is not interested in resolving the situation. I find it quite disturbing and unacceptable that we can't have white-space in file names for core packaging tools. Is there something I'm missing here? How can this stay like this for nearly a decade? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Bug#662946: equivs: does not strip subdirectories from files to be installed
Package: equivs Version: 2.0.9 Followup-For: Bug #662946 -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 Hi, as reported in #660765, I like to build my equivs packages under /tmp. I've done so by cd-ing into tmp and calling equivs with the full path to the control file. However in that case, equivs does not search for Files to be installed relative to the control file's location (as expected) but relativ to the current dir. equivs should always search files to be installed relative to the location of the control file. BTW: It would also be nice to have glob expansion available. The patch proposed earlier in this thread may have the problem that it can not be used to install directories, which would be very nice?

Bug#662946: equivs: does not strip subdirectories from files to be installed
Package: equivs
Version: 2.0.9
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
For example, if I have a control file with
Files: src/some_program /bin
equivs installs /bin/src/some_program instead of /bin/some_program.
Apologies if this is intentional behaviour, but it was unexpected, not
to mention quite inconvenient. :)
Here is a patch which uses basename to fix the install path:
--- /usr/bin/equivs-build 2011-09-30 07:22:24.0 +0100
+++ /tmp/equivs-build 2012-03-07 13:27:50.315122421 +
@@ -67,7 +67,7 @@
for (split "\n", $control{'Files'} || "") {
die "Cannot parse Files line: '$_'\n"
unless m:^\s*(\S+)\s+(\S+)/?\s*$:;
-$install_files{"$2/$1"} = $1;
+$install_files{"$2/".basename($1)} = $1;
}
my %create_files = ();
