Package: gedit-plugins Version: 3.4.0-1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
There was an interesting discussion about arch-specific package descriptions today which led me to look through the archive for examples of this. I found that this package has different descriptions on different architectures -- a total of 10 different descriptions can be found for this package across the different release architectures. The difference is the ordering of the the plugins in the description. Having different descriptions on each architecture makes the Translations-en file unnecessarily large and also creates extra work for translators. The cause of the differences is that d/control is generated at "clean" time using find(1) to locate the plugin descriptions. The problem is that find(1) doesn't sort its output so the different buildds with different filesystems etc will end up with the plugins listed in different orders. Please consider either: * creating the plugin list when building the source package so that the all builds will have the same plugin list to begin with * piping the output of find through sort(1) so that the output is predictable Thanks Stuart -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (550, 'testing-updates'), (550, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (550, 'testing'), (60, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
