Package: svn-buildpackage Version: 0.6.16etch1 Severity: normal
I normally keep some unversioned files in my working copy that I use during development but do not want distributed as part of the source .tar.gz. In order to avoid having these files clutter my "svn status" output, I use the svn:ignore property on the directory to exclude them by name and by pattern (e.g., ignore "testfile" and "testfile-*.gz"). This causes svn status to be quiet about the listed files/patterns (meaning, it does not list them as "?" status files). The 0.6.16etch1 version of svn-buildpackage includes unversioned files that are listed in the svn:ignore property in the built .tar.gz file. Based on my reading of http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=414547;msg=51, this is a bug. It seems like svn-buildpackage's behavior should be functionally equivalent to that of "svn export". "svn export" skips files that unversioned, whether they are listed in the svn:ignore property or not. The same files are excluded from the built .tar.gz file if they are not listed in the svn:ignore property, which is the behavior I would expect. This is a suitable workaround for now, although it makes my svn status output cluttered and unpleasant to look at. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-xen3.0.3-phydomu Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages svn-buildpackage depends on: ii devscripts 2.9.27 Scripts to make the life of a Debi ii file 4.19-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii libsvn-perl 1.4.2dfsg1-2 Perl bindings for Subversion ii perl 5.8.8-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii subversion 1.4.2dfsg1-2 Advanced version control system ii wget 1.10.2-2 retrieves files from the web svn-buildpackage recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
