Public bug reported: When using debcheckout for package with Ubuntu changes and without Vcs fields, it might be helpful for it to suggest or even automatically use the udd branch.
Here's what currently happens: $ apt-cache policy indicator-weather | grep "Installed" Installed: 11.05.31-0ubuntu1 $ debcheckout indicator-weather No repository found for package indicator-weather. A Vcs-* field is missing in its source record. See Debian Developer's Reference 6.2.5: `http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.html#bpp-vcs' If you know that the package is maintained via a version control system consider asking the maintainer to expose such information. Nevertheless, you can get the sources of package indicator-weather from the Debian archive executing: apt-get source indicator-weather Note however that what you obtain will *not* be a local copy of some version control system: your changes will not be preserved and it will not be possible to commit them directly. ** Affects: udd Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: devscripts (Ubuntu) Importance: Wishlist Status: New ** Also affects: devscripts (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: devscripts (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/809936 Title: debcheckout for package with Ubuntu changes and without Vcs fields should suggest udd branch To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/udd/+bug/809936/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
