- Subject: [PROPOSAL] Forbiding debian-revision field for Debian-native source packages
- From: Henrique M Holschuh <hmh@debian.org>

Package: debian-policy Version: 3.5.0.0 Severity: wishlist Currently it is impossible to verify when a source package is mistakenly uploaded in debian-native source format (.tar.gz + .dsc) instead of non-native source format (.orig.tar.gz + .diff.gz + .dsc). Such broken uploads are reasonably common (someone gave me a figure of about 10 per dinstall run in IRC). They not only make a mess in the archive, but also cause bandwidth loss as the next upload will have to include the entire source .tar.gz (or .orig.tar.gz if the maintainer notices the mistake and tries to go back to non-native source format). Should debian-native *source* packages (.tar.gz + .dsc) be forbidden to include a debian revision field, the problem would be detectable, and both lintian and katie (dinstall) could be made to flag such uploads as improper. Universal diff of the proposed change in policy text is attached below. -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux godzillah.rivendell.sol 2.2.18 #1 Thu Dec 28 19:08:58 BRST 2000 i586 Versions of packages debian-policy depends on: ii fileutils 4.0.37-1 GNU file management utilities. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
