Bug#776889: sg3-utils: /usr/bin/rescan-scsi-bus.sh violates policy 10.4 should directive (includes .sh extension)
Source: sg3-utils Version: 1.39-1 Severity: normal Debian Policy 10.4 (Files/Scripts) notes that: When scripts are installed into a directory in the system PATH, the script name should not include an extension such as .sh or .pl that denotes the scripting language currently used to implement it. sg3-utils includes /usr/bin/rescan-scsi-bus.sh, which violates that recommendation in the policy. Note however, that the package scsitools already includes a command named rescan-scsi-bus under /sbin/rescan-scsi-bus, which would conflict with sg3-utils if rescan-scsi-bus.sh would be renamed to rescan-scsi-bus. Besides being quite confusing, should one happen to install both packages, it turns out that both of these scripts seem to be derived from a common ancestor. Maybe a solution can be found between the package maintainers such that Debian ends up with only one version of that script. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (850, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Yes. But rescan-scsi-bug is a very widely known tool. And on every distribution, it is known as, along with the .sh extension. Note however, that the package scsitools already includes a command named rescan-scsi-bus under /sbin/rescan-scsi-bus, which would conflict with sg3-utils if rescan-scsi-bus.sh would be renamed to rescan-scsi-bus.

Maybe a solution can be found between the package maintainers such that Debian ends up with only one version of that script. From what I've checked so far, that is not from the same upstream as sg3-utils. -- Ritesh Raj Sarraf | http://people.debian.org/~rrs Debian - The Universal Operating System signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
