debhelper 3.x for potato available?
Hi,
on most of our production servers, we are running potato because it is
stable. If we need newer packages, we routinely backport sid packages
to potato by simply re-building them.
These backports are becoming increasingly difficult because more and
more packages begin to rely on debhelper 3.x. There are issues
regarding suid binaries and man pages since the way debhelper handles
these changed with debhelper 3.x. We usually fix the suid cases
manually and remove the man pages.
However, this is becoming a nuisance. Backporting debhelper 3 to
potato does look non-trivial because debhelper seems to Depend heavily
on perl 5.6.
Did anybody backport debhelper 3 to potato, and would be willing to
share her packages? Or will a debhelper 3 backport be easier than it
looks like?
Any hints will be appreciated.
Greetings
Marc
