Package: rails
Version: 1.1.6-3
Severity: normal

The 12_options patch which was added in version 1.1.6-2 and was supposed
to be removed for 1.1.6-3 (bug #406658) is still present, and the select
helper is still broken (no html name or id attributes are generated).
Hi,

I cannot reproduce this in 1.1.6-3. The select tag, like <%=
select('user','id',@users) %> seem to be working correctly.
Oh! That's apparently what happened. I ran a diff against your binary, and it totally matches the one I made from the 1.1.6-3 source by manually removing 12_options. Sorry! Nevermind! I didn't think to test that. I supposed this should be filed against the source package then?
No, no. The only thing is, you'll have to remove the old source unpack
directory because it is the same one as the new one. Or at least do a
`fakeroot debian/rules clean` *before* you unpack the new version.

So,
  1. remove the source tree
  2. unpack the new -3 version with `dpkg-source -x ....`
  3. build it with dpkg-buildpackage

Hmm, doesn't really make sense if I think about it, but do it anyway.
Sometimes weird things happen when you update sources in an already
build source tree.

The 12_options patch should not be applied to binary although it still
exists. If it does get applied, then it could be a problem with the
dpatch. What version of dpatch are you using?

Cheers,

PS. do a `cat rails-1.1.6/debian/patches/00list` to see the list of
patches that *should* be applied.

Ok, I built the package, from a fresh source package extractions, twice in totally separate directories. Once from the pristine, once with 12_options removed.

The resulting packages are, in fact, different, but only in their documentation? Which, leaving aside whatever I must have done originally, doesn't make much sense to me. Either the patch should have been applied or not? How could the rdoc differ, while the source is identical? The patch touches code, not just comments.


Best,

kirstin
