Hi, Neil Williams wrote: > What are the problems with CDBS (apart from debian/control automation)? my biggest problem about CDBS is the obscurity it adds to packages. Example: You are a new-time debian developer. You want to adopt a package that is already in Debian using cdbs. Now you have a debian/rules files with some includes and some unclearly further rules. To find out what actually happens when building is done, you will have to have worked a lot with CDBS to understand what actually happens, when building or you need to tackle with the include files to find it out. This is not to hypothetical though. I was in interest several month ago to adopt a package which used CDBS and was poorly maintained. In fact i did resign to that, because it was to obscure for me and that time i wasn't too interested to figure out how to change it. Best Regards Patrick
