Package: debhelper Version: 5.0.42 Severity: normal -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
For NEWS, README and TODO files, the current behavior varies depending on whether the files reside in the upstream tarball or in the debian/ directory. For the upstream files, dh_installdocs successfully catches everything it finds. For the debian/ directory content, some files must explicitely have a .Debian extension while other files get it appended automatically by dh_installdocs. For instance, it currently is that debian/README won't be automatically found, but debian/README.Debian will be. In contradiction, debian/NEWS is found and automatically renamed to NEWS.Debian, while debian/NEWS.Debian will be missed. It would be desirable for this behavior to become consistant. What I propose is that the helper should catch any occurance of NEWS|README|TODO inside the debian/ directory, adding the .Debian extension if found missing. - -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i586) Kernel: Linux 2.6.21-lx (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages debhelper depends on: ii binutils 2.17-3 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii coreutils 5.97-5.3 The GNU core utilities ii dpkg-dev 1.13.25 package building tools for Debian ii file 4.17-5etch1 Determines file type using "magic" ii html2text 1.3.2a-3 An advanced HTML to text converter ii perl 5.8.8-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii po-debconf 1.0.8 manage translated Debconf template debhelper recommends no packages. - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGdpb/eXr56x4Muc0RAmhtAJ9uyaNiQPmJ703rTPCEF7KyXmyG9gCgqOA2 UNMnf1IhyxI7jbCMoTrlT/8= =SwZV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
