Please save your time and let cme fix the Vcs fields in d/control
Hi,
since I have seen some mistakes in Vcs-Browser (lintian will tell you to
drop the .git in the end), I noticed that you might simply waste your
time to edit d/control manually (recently hhsuite). That's obviously
error prone and a you waste your time. So I repeat my strong
recommendation: If you touch a package run
cme fix dpkg-control
It does a lot of sensible things including setting Standards-Version
(well, for the moment it is lagging behind a bit as well as lintian -
but that's a matter of days only and you are in sync with lintian which
reduces the noise you see). Please use
# cat > /etc/apt/preferences.d/01-cme.pref <<EOT
Package: cme
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 605
Package: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 605
EOT
# apt install cme libconfig-model-dpkg-perl
to make sure you always get the latest packages from unstable which are
most up to date (for instance for Standards-Version).
I'm using it since years before every update. Its very helpful. Trust
me. ;-)
Kind regards
Andreas (just back from DebConf)
