Need some help with removing unpack-srcpkg-l1
Hi
I am trying to remove the final unpack script (unpack-srcpkg-l1) by
extending collection/index. I figured it would be a good time to add
support for multiple tarballs for 3.0 (quilt).
For this I was wondering if
my $job = { err => 'index-errors', ... }
appends the output to 'index-errors' or truncates the file before
writing. Alternatively, would we rather want cruft to handle multiple
index-error files (one for each tarball)?
Secondly, if I understand the situation correctly, I believe the version
of collection/index.desc should be updated with this change (to ensure
the index are re-generated). But since file-info generates its output
from the index file, file-info should be re-run as well.
Unfortunately, if I understand frontend/lintian correctly this will
not happen automatically. Since file-info succeeded in the past, there
should already be a ".file-info-1" file in the lab and the update of
index will not make frontend/lintian remove that (or have I missed
something?).
