Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-CC: deity@lists.debian.org, debian-dpkg@lists.debian.org In #758107 it was revealed that dak sets the Priority fields in Sources files to "extra", thereby making this field not useful in any way. Removing this useless field from the Sources files will save some bytes. OTOH, the repository specification says this field "shall" be present: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianRepository/Format#Priority If we are to keep the Priority field in Sources then it should be set to optional because extra is deprecated (at least in the context of binary packages). https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/#s-priorities Alternatively we could make dpkg-dev export the value from debian/control to the .dsc file and have dak import and use that. Thoughts? -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
