QA questions for gnuhealth



Hi team,

On gnuhealth's PTS page [0] there are 3 issues listed, I'd appreciate
some help figuring out how to fix them:

1) Lintian warning script-not-executable on file
usr/share/dbconfig-common/scripts/gnuhealth-server/upgrade/pgsql/2.4.0

In the same directory, there is another script (file 2.0.0) that
doesn't trigger this warning. In the svn repo, I see that that file
has the "SVN property" svn:executable set to *. How can I set that to
the file 2.4.0? Should I just chmod +x the file and will that mark it
as svn:executable, or are there other steps to take?

2) piuparts error: seems like an encoding issue with files coming from
upstream. I've asked upstream if they have an idea how to fix it, and
CC'd the list on my message.

3) override disparities: the following is mentioned for all 3 binary packages:
<package>: Override says science - extra, .deb says science - optional
Where is that "override" defined?
And which should it be, extra or optional? From [1] I read:
- The optional priority will usually work for new packages that do not
conflict with others claiming required, important, or standard
priority.
- The extra priority will usually work for new packages that conflict
with others with non-extra priorities.

Based on that information, I would say optional, but I'd like to pass
that by you for review.

Thanks for your help.
