Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.14.25 Severity: normal I noticed that `dpkg-source -b SOURCEDIR` will create a *.debian.tar.gz which includes personal informations. This includes username and group of the current user which creates a package. These informations aren't meant for other people. dpkg-source should only use numerical user and group names and/or set the id and group to 0. This can be done with the options --owner 0 --group 0 --numeric-owner
It can be checked with `tar zftv *.debian.tar.gz` Example call would be: `tar cvfz ~/test.tar.gz --owner 0 --group 0 --numeric-owner /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives` --- System information. --- Architecture: amd64 Kernel: Linux 2.6.28.7 Debian Release: squeeze/sid 500 unstable ftp.debian.org 1 experimental ftp.debian.org --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed =================================-+-============= dpkg (>= 1.14.6) | 1.14.25 perl5 | perl-modules | 5.10.0-19 cpio (>= 2.4.2-2) | 2.9.90-3 bzip2 | 1.0.5-1 lzma | 4.43-14 patch (>= 2.2-1) | 2.5.9-5 make | 3.81-5 binutils | 2.19.1-1 libtimedate-perl | 1.1600-9 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
