Public bug reported:
Hi.
When using apt-clone for the first time, the output can be misleading:
apt-clone clone test.tar.gz
not installable:
version mismatch:
Note that you can use --with-dpkg-repack to include those packges in the
clone file.
There is no need to write "not installable: " with an empty list. It
leaves the user with a doubt.
I checked the code to be sure this was normal output and it is:
https://sources.debian.net/src/apt-clone/0.2.2/apt-clone/
print "not installable: %s" % ", ".join(clone.not_downloadable)
print "version mismatch: %s" % ", ".join(clone.version_mismatch)
if not args.with_dpkg_repack:
print "\nNote that you can use --with-dpkg-repack to include "\
"those packges in the clone file."
It could be improved this way, for instance:
if clone.not_downloadable:
print "not installable: %s" % ", ".join(clone.not_downloadable)
if clone.version_mismatch:
print "version mismatch: %s" % ", ".join(clone.version_mismatch)
if (clone.not_downloadable or clone.version_mismatch
and not args.with_dpkg_repack):
print "\nNote that you can use --with-dpkg-repack to include "\
"those packges in the clone file."
(I'm not totally sure about the conditions to test for the notice about
dpkg-repack.)
Shall I submit a patch? How?
Thanks.
