Hi Robert and happy new year.
Hi and happy new year to you too ;)
Are you talking about #456223? If so, the change is commited in our SVN
and pending.
No, I'm talking about fix for #439667.
If not, please could you explain the exact problem?
man2html_1.6e.orig.tar.gz contains man-1.6e.tar.gz which debdiff
extracts in /tmp/foo/man2html-1.6e/man-1.6e directory
man2html_1.6f.orig.tar.gz contains man-1.6f.tar.gz which is extracted
into /tmp/bar/man2html-1.6f/man-1.6f.
Then debdiff calls
diff -Nur /tmp/foo/man2html-1.6e /tmp/bar/man2html-1.6f
which shows all the files from man-1.6e as removed
and all the files from man-1.6f as added.
I haven't uploaded man2html_1.6f yet, but please try
debdiff man2html_1.6c-6.dsc man2html_1.6e-3.dsc
and see the results.
I think you can reproduce the bug on most source packages which contain
*.tar.gz tarballs (tzdata is one of exceptions). Fortunatelly there's a typo
in debdiff which prevents *.tar.bz2 tarballs for being unpacked.
Please could you point at the typo so that it gets fixed too? :-)
line 471:
if ($_ =~ /tar.bz$/) {
but it would be better if this doesn't get fixed ;)
Best Regards,
robert
