Package: git-core Version: 0.99.9k-1 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 10.1
Hello. I had previously agreed with Sebastian Kuzminsky (the previous cogito maintainer) how to handle the conflicting /usr/bin/git binaries, and I've just discovered he has orphaned cogito, and git-core now conflicts with git. Please change the conflict to git (<< 4.3.20-8) and use update-alternatives to point /usr/bin/git to your git binary with a priority less than 80. GNU Interactive Tools's /usr/bin/git points to a transition script that explains the situation to the user, then runs /usr/bin/gitfm (the renamed git binary). Post-etch, I will lower the priority of my git's alternative to lower than yours, or just remove the transition script. My sponsor should hopefully upload git 4.3.20-8 soon. I'll mail this bug again when that happens. If you want to see how I'm handling my end of the transition, git_4.3.20-8 is at: http://nessie.mcc.ac.uk/~ianb/debian/ I hope this plan is acceptable to you.
