for source format 3.0 (quilt), the --help switch shows you which -I options are set by default:
-I[<pattern>] filter out files when building tarballs (defaults to: -I*.a -I*.la -I*.o -I*.so -I.*.sw? -I*/*~ -I,,* -I.[#~]* -I.arch-ids -I.arch-inventory -I.be -I.bzr -I.bzr.backup -I.bzr.tags -I.bzrignore -I.cvsignore -I.deps -I.git -I.gitattributes -I.gitignore -I.gitmodules -I.hg -I.hgignore -I.hgsigs -I.hgtags -I.shelf -I.svn -ICVS -IDEADJOE -IRCS -I_MTN -I_darcs -I{arch}). I believe indeed this is a bug in dpkg-dev, since we are explicitely requesting those files to be included. The default set of excludes should not remove this file from the source package. which is why I reported a debian bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=718984 ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #718984 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=718984 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/317761 Title: dpkg-source sets -i -I by default To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/317761/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
