j I just did a checkout of the dpkg-iwj tree to see what has been changed in the NMU's that hasn't been incorporated. I came upon a couple of items that I'm not sure about: diff -nur /home/wichert/NMU/dpkg-1.4.1.6/lib/vercmp.c dpkg-wta/lib/vercmp.c --- /home/wichert/NMU/dpkg-1.4.1.6/lib/vercmp.c Sun Nov 1 17:06:09 1998 +++ dpkg-wta/lib/vercmp.c Sun Oct 25 23:25:25 1998 @@ -66,7 +66,7 @@ int r; if (version->epoch > refversion->epoch) return 1; - if (version->epoch < refversion->epoch) return -1; + if (version->epoch < refversion->epoch) return 1; r= verrevcmp(version->version,refversion->version); if (r) return r; return verrevcmp(version->revision,refversion->revision); } This looks like an important bugfix that hasn't been merged yet. I also noted that although lchown is mentioned in the changelog I can't find an autoconf test for lchown, dpkg still seems to use normal chown. Is that an oversight? A lot of code in controllib.pl to see who we are hasn't been merged; haven't you gotten around to this or is that also intentional? All the DEB_HOST_ARCH stuff is missing, I'll assume you will merge that later as well? The gpg support is also missing I see. I've just seperated a couple of patches from the big patch so you can include them seperately. I'll send them in a seperate mail.
