Bug#471263: Problem with newly created files via ctangle
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.48
Followup-For: Bug #471263
Hi!
I'm the maintainer of "cjk", which produces binary files like latex-cjk-common
and latex-cjk-chinese.
The upstream author uses CWEB, a language that produces C and TeX documentation
files through ctangle and cweave respectively.
I used to leave the .c file, as it would be overwritten anyway when you would
rebuild cjk. However, when I build it now, lintian produces a warning that
the .c file appears in the diff.gz file, presuming that it is an extra patch
that is not handled through dpatch (which I also use).
To solve this issue, I remove the .c file during the cleaning target of
debian/rules, clean the directory with "debuild clean", recreate the source with
git-buildpackage and then rebuild the whole thing once or twice.
I'm not sure if I've done the Right Thing(tm), but it seems to work regardless.
Best regards
Danai SAE-HAN
