Re: [Prototype Patch] Always include debian packaging in index



* Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net>, 2011-10-26, 16:08:
Jakub have asked to get debian packaging included in the index (for source packages). Currently this only happens for native packages.

I have attached a prototype patch that I intend to use a basis. The patch will make index include the .debian.tar.$ext in the list of tarballs and forge index data for 1.0 packages based on the lsdiff output.

There are at least two major corner cases it does not handle, which should be fixed before applying it to the master branch.
* 3.0 (quilt) where upstream has a debian dir in the orig tarball
* 1.0 diff.gz removes a file from the upstream part.

I don't think the latter is even possible...

Alternatively, we can create a separate index for debfiles that contains this information. In that case, we will have to split the "upstream part" and the "debian part" of the index for native packages.

I imagined two indices: one for files in (.orig).tar, one for all files after unpack.
