Package: tidy Version: 1:5.2.0-1.1 Severity: normal Hello and thanks for maintaining tidy-html5 in Debian!
Unfortunately, after the upgrade: [UPGRADE] tidy:amd64 20091223cvs-1.5 -> 1:5.2.0-1.1 I noticed that tidy was completely misbehaving. None of my usual settings was complied with. My settings were in ~/.tidyrc and /usr/share/doc/tidy/README.Debian still claims that this is the configuration file! On the other hand, the online help tells a different story: $ tidy --help [...] On some platforms Tidy will also attempt to use a configuration specified in /etc/tidy.conf or ~/.tidy.conf. [...] This is a first issue, please fix the apparently outdated information in the README.Debian file. However, after: $ mv ~/.tidyrc ~/.tidy.conf tidy still seems to ignore the content of ~/.tidy.conf ! Only after setting the enviroment variable: $ export HTML_TIDY=~/.tidy.conf I was able to finally see tidy behaving as it was supposed to. I think this is a bug: the HTML_TIDY environment variable should be used to change the configuration file name from its default value to another custom path, but there should be a default configuration file name (and the online help claims that this is ~/.tidy.conf, which is however apparently ignored). Please investigate and fix this bug and/or forward my bug report upstream. Thanks for your time.
