Package: devscripts Version: 2.15.5 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
Currently, wnpp-check does a regex match on package names which returns true if the searched text is found somewhere in the list of packages with ITP/RFP. Example : `wnpp-check ruby-grape` will return true with an RFP filed on ruby-grape-entity. This is because of the use of grep in wnpp-check. However, there are scenarios where we want wnpp-check to return true only if the exact package name that we search for is found. That is, `wnpp-check ruby-grape` should return false. One of such scenario I am facing is when I am checking which all dependencies of gitlab are packaged. As part of it, I take a list of dependencies and do wnpp-check on them. Based on the result, I generate a progressbar [1]. However, this gives false positives as explained above. The attached patch is one way to fix the issue. By adding a --exact/-e option to tackle this scenario. Please use it if it meets the coding standards or be kind enough to add such an option. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 4.0.0-2-686-pae (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=ml_IN, LC_CTYPE=ml_IN (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages devscripts depends on: ii dpkg-dev 1.18.1 ii libc6 2.19-18 ii perl 5.20.2-6 ii python3 3.4.3-4 pn python3:any <none> Versions of packages devscripts recommends: ii at 3.1.16-1 ii curl 7.43.0-1 ii dctrl-tools 2.24-1 ii debian-keyring 2015.06.19 ii dput 0.9.6.4 ii equivs 2.0.9 ii fakeroot 1.20.2-1 ii file 1:5.22+15-2 ii gnupg 1.4.19-3 ii libdistro-info-perl 0.14 ii libencode-locale-perl 1.03-1 ii libjson-perl 2.90-1 ii liblwp-protocol-https-perl 6.06-2 ii libsoap-lite-perl 1.11-1 ii liburi-perl 1.64-1 ii libwww-perl 6.13-1 ii lintian 2.5.32 ii man-db 2.7.0.2-5 ii patch 2.7.5-1 ii patchutils 0.3.4-1 ii python3-debian 0.1.27 ii python3-magic 1:5.22+15-2 ii sensible-utils 0.0.9 ii strace 4.10-2 ii unzip 6.0-17 ii wdiff 1.2.2-1 ii wget 1.16.3-3 ii xz-utils 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2.1 Versions of packages devscripts suggests: ii bsd-mailx [mailx] 8.1.2-0.20150408cvs-1 ii build-essential 11.7 pn cvs-buildpackage <none> pn debbindiff <none> pn devscripts-el <none> ii gnuplot 4.6.6-2 ii gpgv 1.4.19-3 ii libauthen-sasl-perl 2.1600-1 ii libfile-desktopentry-perl 0.12-1 ii libnet-smtp-ssl-perl 1.01-3 pn libterm-size-perl <none> ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 pn libyaml-syck-perl <none> pn mutt <none> ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:6.7p1-6 ii svn-buildpackage 0.8.5+nmu1 ii w3m 0.5.3-22 -- no debconf information
