Package: debian-policy Severity: important Hi, during the last months i had to review several packages. Quite a number of packages were not buildable two times (eg. "unrepresentable changes to source"). Most of these packages used svn-buildpackage or cvs-buildpackage. This bug is quite annoying as one needs to either manual interact or run dpkg-source -x again. I therefore propose a policy change for etch+1, that all packages need to have a proper working clean target, so a directly rebuild of the package is possible without manual interaction. Discussion and rephrasing of that text welcome. Greetings Martin -- [root@debian /root]# man real-life No manual entry for real-life

control: user debian-policy@packages.debian.org control: usertag -1 +obsolete control: tag -1 +wontfix Russ Allbery and I did a round of in-person bug triage at DebConf17 and we are closing this bug as inactive. The reasons for closing fall into the following categories, from most frequent to least frequent: - issue is appropriate for Policy, there is a consensus on how to fix the problem, but preparing the patch is very time-consuming and no-one has volunteered to do it, and we do not judge the issue to be important enough to keep an open bug around; - issue is appropriate for Policy but there does not yet exist a consensus on what should change, and no recent discussion. A fresh discussion might allow us to reach consensus, and the messages in the old bug are unlikely to help very much; or - issue is not appropriate for Policy. If you feel this bug is still relevant and want to restart the discussion, you can re-open the bug. However, please consider instead opening a new bug with a message that summarises and condenses the previous discussion, updates the report for the current state of Debian, and makes clear exactly what you think should change. A lot of these old bugs have long side tangents and numerous messages, and that old discussion is not necessarily helpful for figuring out what Debian Policy should say today. -- Sean WhittonAttachment: signature.asc
