Package: lintian Version: 2.4.3 Severity: normal Hi,
In gitpkg 0.17 we've added a hook for exporting ranges of commits to debian/patches (so that those might show up in patch-tracker et al. rather than just being included in the format 3 default blob). The ranges to export are read from the file debian/source/git-patches, which is also intended to be human readable, since you can git diff those ranges locally, and could be used similarly by people people still using home-brew patch systems (it's fairly deliberately not specific to either gitpkg or format3). We originally had that directly under debian/, but I'm a little loathe to clutter the top level with it now that we have established subdirs, and after discussion with buxy, he agreed debian/source/git-patches is probably where it belongs and is happy for it to be there. The only catch seems to be that lintian then reports: E: unknown-file-in-debian-source git-patches Adding this file to KNOWN_FILES in that check looks like it should be all we need to do to remedy that now.
