 thanks
 
 Hi,
 
 so #745876 (and #619244 too) convinced me, so I now made piuparts ignore 
 /etc/machine-id (in git and on piuparts.d.o, upload pending). 
 
 I'd just prefered if #745876 would have been cc:ed to 
 piupa...@packages.debian.org as well, so that I would not have too stumble 
 upon it by chance... :)

Sorry for that. I almost Cc you, but I was not really sure about what
kind of overrides does piuparts have in place, or whether you would
be willing to make an exception in this case.

This file, /etc/machine-id, could be described as

* A system file
* which is handled by a package which is not essential now
* but will be essential de-facto in jessie (if not just essential)
* but it will not be essential de-facto in every architecture.

Odd properties would make it a good candidate for base-files, and even
properties would not, so, I'm glad that you decided to make a piuparts
exception for such kind of files.

Thanks a lot.

Bug#619244: Bug#745876: found + fixed on piuparts.d.o

Hi Santiago,

readding 619244 for future reference as you nicely explained /etc/machine-id 
here and I've referenced that bug in debian/changelog...

piuparts has quite some, look in /usr/sbin/piuparts for self.ignored_files and 
self.ignored_patterns, there are (somewhat sadly) 125 and 35 of these...

Ack.

 Thanks a lot.

Likewise! :)
