Public bug reported: dpkg/DebSrc3.0 patches should accept git format-patch output. In most cases this is done, which causes even more confusion if it doesnt, e.g. for this commit:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=faf72664d11deaa570a0f8c7e702ff07bf5914c8 git writes the diff base filename for the newly-created file as a/dev/null. Observed behaviour: The debian toolchain does neither abort hard on this, nor create the file as one would expect. Expected behaviour: A hard abort on such a patch in debian/patches/ or (better): handling such patches as git does. ** Affects: dpkg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1185102 Title: dpkg/DebSrc3.0 should accept git-format-patch output (or error out) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/1185102/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
