Package: texlive-lang Version: 2007.dfsg.3-2 Severity: minor Usertags: 3.0-quilt-by-default To prepare a possible switch to the new source package format "3.0 (quilt)" [1], I converted all source packages and tried to rebuild them. Unfortunately, texlive-lang failed, you can try yourself with those commands (and dpkg-dev >= 1.14.19 [2]) : $ apt-get source texlive-lang $ sed -i -e '/^Source:/ aFormat: 3.0 (quilt)' texlive-lang-2007.dfsg.3/debian/control $ dpkg-source -b texlive-lang-2007.dfsg.3 $ dpkg-source -x texlive-lang_2007.dfsg.3-2.dsc $ cd texlive-lang-2007.dfsg.3 && debuild -us -uc In this process, if the .diff.gz contains changes to upstream files, dpkg-source will have created a corresponding patch in debian/patches/debian-changes-2007.dfsg.3-2 and will have registered that patch in a quilt series (debian/patches/series, it is created if needed). All the patches listed in the "series" file are applied directly during the extraction (dpkg-source -x). quilt itself is used if available (and will thus lead to the creation of the .pc directory), otherwise dpkg-source applies the patches by itself. For more information about the new source package format see the manual page dpkg-source(1). In the case of texlive-lang, it already uses quilt but the package fails to build because "quilt push -a" fails when the patch are already applied (by dpkg-source -x or dpkg-source -b). You should really uses patch/unpatch rules like those in /usr/share/quilt/quilt.make (you can directly use those by using "include /usr/share/quilt/quilt.make" in your debian/rules file). The call to quilt is protected like this "quilt push -a || test $? = 2" because 2 is the error code returned by quilt when it has nothing to do. Furthermore, you must also pay attention to the following points in your quilt usage to guarantee compatibility with the new source package format: - all your patches must be applicable with the "-p1" option of patch (and you shouldn't use options in the series file to override this) - the patches must be in debian/patches/ together with the "series" file (you can use QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches if needed) - you should not override QUILT_PC to change the location of quilt's internal directory (".pc" by default) - the patches should not reference absolute filenames (in +++/--- lines) - your clean target must work even if the patches are already applied - your build target must work with patches applied even if the clean target is supposed to unapply them (because dpkg-source -b might have applied them back) Cheers, [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2008/04/msg00004.html [2] the upcoming dpkg-dev 1.14.20 is more tolerant with patches, you can grab it here if you want to try with that version: http://people.debian.org/~hertzog/packages/dpkg-dev_1.14.20_all.deb -- Raphael Hertzog

Hello, as announced in http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2010/05/msg00010.html the dpkg team no longer has any plan to switch the default source format to "3.0 (quilt)" and as such this bug is meaningless. However you have to create a debian/source/format file and be explicit about the format that you want. That file will become mandatory in the future. You are still highly encouraged to use one of the newer formats: either "3.0 (quilt)" or "3.0 (native)". http://lintian.debian.org/tags/missing-debian-source-format.html Thanks for your work.
