Bug#359302: advi: debhelper -X\\.aux behaviour change



Package: advi
Version: 1.6.0-9
Severity: normal

Hello Debian OCaml Maintainers,

advi debian/rules do

        dh_installexamples -i -X\\.aux -X\\.cmi -X\\.cmo -X\\.log -X\\.out -X\\.toc

It is probably a work-around against debhelper bug #349070.  However
this bug was fixed and now -X\\.aux will _not_ exclude 'foo.aux'.

You must simply do

        dh_installexamples -i -X.aux -X.cmi -X.cmo -X.log -X.out -X.toc

Here the relevant change:

debhelper (5.0.18) unstable; urgency=low

  * Reverted change in 4.1.9, so generation of EXCLUDE_FIND escapes "." to
    "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
    prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
    as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
    via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change
    was originally made.) Closes: #349070
