Hi Mattia, > Whilst the upgrade checklist says "should use d/watch instead" So this is just unfortunate/incorrect wording in policy "diff"? I didn't follow the discussion that led to this change, alas. > the actual policy simply removed the 'get-orig-source' paragraph Cool, so at least that bit should have been covered in: https://anonscm.debian.org/git/lintian/lintian.git/commit/?id=c20e79a879cfbe1ce0e0d70f7ac6a56e0508e3b9 Regards, -- ,''`. : :' : Chris Lamb `. `'` la...@debian.org / chris-lamb.co.uk `-

Whilst the upgrade checklist says "should use d/watch instead", the actual policy simply removed the 'get-orig-source' paragraph, therefore simply that target is not standardized anymore. And as you probably guess maintainer can put whatever target they want in their d/rules :) I would be fine with such pedantic tag if lintian checked for e.g. get-orig-source targets that only call uscan, those are idiotic for me. -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`. more about me: https://mapreri.org : :' : Launchpad user: https://launchpad.net/~mapreri `. `'` Debian QA page: https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=mattia `- signature.asc Description: PGP signature
