reassign 485330 dpkg-dev severity 485330 minor thanks Le Mon, Jun 09, 2008 at 12:01:02AM +0200, Raphael Hertzog a écrit : > > In the case of emboss, the patch > emboss-5.0.0/debian/patches/patch-1-9 is not in unified diff format. > Please convert it. quilt refresh can do this for you.
Salut Raphaël, the patch that makes emboss incompatible with the format 3.0 (quilt) is in context format, which is very close to unified format and is accepted by a very broad range of software, including dpkg-dev once the routine that discards non-unified patches is desactivated. On the discussion that took place on the debian-devel mailing list, Russ Albery and Pierre Habouzit supported my opinion that there is no reason for dpkg-dev to reject patches in context format. http://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/87ocqsdh86....@windlord.stanford.edu http://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/20090806163328.gc6...@laphroaig.corp I therefore reassign the bug to dpkg-dev and hope that you will disable the format checks and leave the decision of which format to use to the maintainers or the Policy.
