Package: git-dpm Version: 0.7.1-1 Severity: wishlist The patches generated by git-dpm currently end by default with the git-format-patch signature containing the current git version number.
This is somewhat awkward because git version updates on the maintainer's system result in unnecessary changes to the package. For instance, adding a security fix with a different version of git than the one it was released with will result in a much longer debdiff than necessary. This causes extra work to the security or release team who need to review the changes. While this can be fixed with the git-config setting format.signature = "" it would be nice if git-dpm used 'git format-patch --no-signature' by default, or at least recommended unsetting format.signature in its manual page. Thanks for git-dpm; we're switching the perl package to use it and are very happy with the result. -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
