Hi, My plan is to have a source-repository of every single Debian package. I consider it to be interesting in several ways including that of avoiding symbol conflicts with shared library package, and finding out what might be a scalable way to maintain such a large chunk of source code. > > > So would I.

It would be nice to have a 'policy-reserved' name for debian/rule targets that cannot be used unless policy allows to which is guaranteed not to be used anywhere else. > > I have had a vague recollection that there was something > > which had not been implemented yet; thanks for pointing it out. > > > > The discussion is pointing to a direction that is human-parsed > > and requiring a large amount of change in Debian archive. > > I would like an interim solution before that is implemented. > > I would suggest as a beginning to start with one section (e.g. base) and just > count which packages miss targets like this and file a wishlist bugs against > them (possibly a post-sarge job), and when these targets hit policy just > raise the bug severity. I've extracted every single package using the following kind of snippet: bzgrep ^Package: Sources.bz2 | sed 's/Package: //' | xargs -n1 apt-get source and started doing some searching on what target can be used for extracting the tarball and applying patches; following is a list that I came up after a few hours of searching: acct 6.3.5-39: debian/rules patch ace 5.4.2.1.0-2: debian/rules patch afio 2.5-3: debian/rules patch apache 1.3.33-4: debian/rules source.make apache2 2.0.53-5: debian/rules source.make (patch target tries to create diff.) arpwatch 2.1a13-2: debian/rules setup autofs 4.1.3+4.1.4beta2-3: debian/rules source.make away 0.9.5-2: debian/rules setup axiom 20050201-1: debian/rules debian/patches_applied bacula 1.36.2-1: debian/rules patch bash 3.0-14: debian/rules patch-bash bash3 3.0-12: debian/rules patch-bash bglibs 1.019.dfsg1-0.1: debian/rules unpack bigloo 2.6e-1: debian/rules setup cernlib 2004.11.04-3: debian/rules patch cfengine 1.6.5-1: debian/rules patch cfengine2 2.1.13-1: debian/rules setup clanbomber 1.05cdbs-1: debian/rules apply-patches clanlib 0.6.5-1-2.2: debian/rules source.make clearsilver 0.9.13-3: debian/rules apply-patches console-tools 1:0.2.3dbs-56: debian/rules setup cronolog 1.6.2-5: debian/rules setup cvm 0.32-1: debian/rules unpack cyrus-sasl 1.5.28-6.4: debian/rules setup cyrus-sasl2 2.1.19-1.5: debian/rules setup cyrus-sasl2-mit 2.1.19-1.1: debian/rules setup db2 2:2.7.7.0-9: debian/rules setup db3 3.2.9-22: debian/rules setup dcl 1:0.9.2-2: debian/rules setup denemo 0.7.2a-7: debian/rules apply-patches diffmon 20020222-2: debian/rules setup drip 0.8.3.2+0.9.0-rc3-5: debian/rules apply-patches regards, junichi -- Junichi Uekawa, Debian Developer 17D6 120E 4455 1832 9423 7447 3059 BF92 CD37 56F4 http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/
