Bug#460838: Please don't ship rules/base in source
Package: xkb-data
Version: 1.1~cvs.20080104.1-1
Severity: wishlist
I don't really know how rules/base works, but it seems to be autogenerated and
possible not to ship it in the source. I see that even upstream tarballs
contain it, but maybe the Debian patch could just remove it.
The reason I ask this is that having this file seems to cause problems when
trying to modify rules. Apparently if I build the package, then edit the
source code and finally build and retry cleaning, cleaning fails because
rules/base is updated so unpatching fails:
Le patch add_void_definition_pl-324647.diff ne se retire pas proprement
(rafraichissez le, ou forcez avec -f)
