Current implementations > should ignore any additional members after data.tar.gz. Should != must. Besides, Policy deals with packages' behaviour not with how the archive should behave. In any case, I do not follow your reading of policy that would mandate debian.org's archive to allow extra members of .deb's. Anyway, it seems work is underway to allow specifically dpkg-sig'd .deb's in the archive proper (rather than not checking extra members at all, with the potentional to contain any random sort of data that's not normally visible by usage of dpkg), once the code is there, this issue will be revisited. For now though, the check will remain in place. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
