--- Begin Message ---Package: devscripts Version: 2.10.64 Severity: grave Justification: causes non-serious data loss debsnap's manpage says the reason it insists the destination directory doesn't exist yet is "to avoid files being accidentally overwritten by what is fetched from the archive". However: if (-d $destdir) { if ($force_actions) { my $verbose = 1 if $config_vars{DEBSNAP_VERBOSE} eq 'yes'; remove_tree($destdir, { verbose => $verbose }); mkdir($destdir); } else { fatal "Destination dir $destdir already exists.\nPlease (re)move it first, or use --force to overwrite."; } } else { mkdir($destdir); } This deletes the destination directory and all its contents, even though nothing in there might have been "accidentally overwritten". This is utterly insane, and severely undocumented. Good thing all I've lost (AFAIK...) are git trees that are mirrored on git.d.o...

[ James Vega ] * Remove mergechanges from the set of commands which use completion of package names. (Closes: #578167) * bts: + Use sendmail to send mails with extra headers when $(DEB)EMAIL aren't present. (Closes: #577564) + Document that $(DEB)EMAIL must be in the environment to send email using either --mutt or --smtp-host. (Closes: #578334) + Cleanup the help output and add some options which were only documented in the man page. + Allow specifying multiple tag modifiers (+, -, =) in one tag stanza. (Closes: #578118) + Document the valid values for the status key in the select command. (Closes: #583067) * debsnap: + Iterate over the list of files listed for a hash until we find one that matches the requested package. (Closes: #584734) + Warn and move on to the next file if no files are present for a given hash or none match the requested package. (Closes: #587265) + Handle error responses from snapshot.debian.org. (Closes: #587217) + Use the basename of the file being downloaded as the name under which to save it.

(Closes: #530581) * debchange: When running “dch -r”, use <dist>-backports if a backports upload is detected. (Closes: #588502) * uupdate: Use “0ubuntu1” for the Debian revision of the version number when running uupdate on Ubuntu systems. Based on a patch by Guillaume Martres. (Closes: #577998) * Ship French man pages in UTF-8 now that #196762 is fixed. . [ Martin Zobel-Helas ] * Remove svk from Recommends, it is no longer in the archive. (Closes: #581224) . [ Raphael Geissert ] * checkbashisms: + Makefile handling: - Simplify make variables as shell variables.
