Hi all, I've just added a new field to the derivatives census template: * dpkg vendor: Please add here the output of this: dpkg-vendor --query Vendor. If this prints Debian then you need to patch base-files in your distribution to add a new file in /etc/dpkg/origins/example containing information about your distribution. Based on the patches to base-files[1], it appears that not all Debian derivatives are adding their distribution to the dpkg origins information. Some derivatives are also making mistakes in the ways they are patching base-files for the origins information. If you are patching base-files, please leave the dpkg origins file for Debian in place. Your dpkg origins file should contain "Parent: Debian", not have Parent be missing, empty or have some other value. The default origin in your distribution should be a symlink to your origins file, change VENDORFILE in base-files debian/rules to ensure that. Please ensure that these commands work and produce the right results: if ! dpkg-vendor --derives-from Debian ; then echo error error ; fi dpkg-vendor --vendor Debian --query Vendor 1. http://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/CensusTemplate 2. http://dex.alioth.debian.org/census/patches/b/base-files/ -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
