Well there are several problems with this.... apt-get source gets the source of a released debian package. The point of apt-get source is to get the source package for a certain release.
What's in the repository is generally a subset of that, so for most use cases the warning is irrelevant because, as with one of my examples: WARNING: 'pyspf' is maintained in the 'Svn' version control system at: svn://svn.debian.org/python-modules/packages/pyspf/trunk/ pyspf is NOT maintained at svn.debian.org. Only the debian dir is. Additionally, what's in the Debian svn is not relevant to what I would do for Ubuntu. So what the warning states is incorrect. Additionally, now there's an added step I have to take so this "improvement" provides incorrect information and makes more work for me. If the warning were made accurate, I see no harm in providing the information, but I think asking for the confirmation because of a fact that's at best tangentially related to what I'm trying to do is overly intrusive. -- Version control system warnings annoying and misleading https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/129575 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
