Public bug reported:
[Impact]
Due to a hardcoded version string in debian/rules, new versions of the ksh
package can cause Launchpad to break when uploading:
override_dh_gencontrol:
dh_gencontrol --package=ksh93u+m
dh_gencontrol --package=ksh -- -v20240113
This has been fixed in Debian as an NMU, by appending DEB_VERSION to the
hardcoded version string:
override_dh_gencontrol:
dh_gencontrol --package=ksh93u+m
dh_gencontrol --package=ksh -- -v20240113-$(DEB_VERSION)
[Test Plan]
This should be trivial to test and validate, as any binary builds of ksh93u+m
will generate a ksh with the same version strings (despite different changelog
versions).
$ dpkg-buildpackage -I -i -nc -d
...
$ ls ../ksh_*deb
../ksh_20240113_all.deb
After including DEB_VERSION to the version string:
$ ls ../ksh_*deb
../ksh_20240113-1.0.8-1ubuntu1_all.deb
[Where problems could occur]
Although this is a simple version change to the transitional ksh package, we'll
need to include pkg-info.mk. This is also a fairly low-priority fix, as the
issue will only reproduce when updating the ksh package.
Given the original fix for Debian has been uploaded as an NMU, we'll have to be
extra careful on any future syncs to not re-introduce breakage.
