Source: libvirt-python Version: 1.2.4-1 Severity: normal Hi!
The Vcs-Git field in d/control is incorrect: Vcs-Git: git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-libvirt-python/libvirt.git which makes it excessively hard to find the right source... $ debcheckout libvirt-python declared git repository at git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-libvirt-python/libvirt.git git clone git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-libvirt-python/libvirt.git libvirt-python ... fatal: destination path 'libvirt-python' already exists and is not an empty directory. checkout failed (the command above returned a non-zero exit code) The correct repo seems to be: git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-libvirt/libvirt-python.git (although there's every chance that lintian will tell you that this is not the canonical URL... there's probably some other variant to use) Additionally, you don't actually end up with anything useful by cloning that repo: $ git clone git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-libvirt/libvirt-python.git Cloning into 'libvirt-python'... remote: Counting objects: 1863, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (633/633), done. remote: Total 1863 (delta 1299), reused 1720 (delta 1219) Receiving objects: 100% (1863/1863), 482.73 KiB | 161.00 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (1299/1299), done. Checking connectivity... done. warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout. (which leaves you with a directory with only a ".git" in it). It would be good to: * tell git what the default branch would be * encode the default branch into the Vcs-Git field as defined in policy ยง5.6.26 * maybe even use the same branch names as most other packages cheers Stuart -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
