Subject: cvs-conf: uses example files in postinst in contravention of policy
X-Mailer: reportbug 1.50
Date: Wed, 12 Jun 2002 14:41:58 -0400
Message-Id: <E17ID4A-0000UV-00@satin.kitenet.net>
Sender: Joey Hess <joey@satin.kitenet.net>
Delivered-To: submit@bugs.debian.org
Package: cvs-conf
Version: 0.0.1-6
Severity: serious
Policy says:
Files in `/usr/share/doc' should not be referenced by any program, and
the system administrator should be able to delete them without causing
any programs to break. Any files that are referenced by programs but
are also useful as standalone documentation should be installed under
`/usr/share/<package>/' with symbolic links from
`/usr/share/doc/<package>/'.
This package's postinst is, in part:
EXAMPLES=/usr/share/doc/cvs-conf/examples
...
cd ${EXAMPLES}/config
...
cvs -d ${cvs_root} import -m "" ${cvs_module} cvs-conf start
In other words, it imports the examples/config directory into some cvs server.
In the future when dpkg supports exclusion of files, this will break on systems
where /usr/share/doc is excluded; that's why policy requires that you put
these files somewhere else.
