Package: devscripts Version: 2.11.7 Severity: minor File: /usr/bin/mk-build-deps Tags: patch
packages generated by mk-build-deps use equivs' default README template, which is tailored to typical hackish equivs builds which are used as make-believe packages. to quote from it: ---- Please note that this is a crude hack and if thoughtlessly used might possibly do damage to your packaging system. And please note as well that using it is not the recommended way of dealing with broken dependencies. Better file a bug report instead. ---- this warning does not apply to mk-build-deps built packages at all, and will confuse users who are not aware of how it comes together. as a remedy, mk-build-deps can ship its own README template and instruct equivs to use it, a single-line patch to the script is attached. the template can be installed in a static location, as equivs already has facilities to fill in @-escaped templates. for the contents of /usr/share/devscripts/mk-build-deps/README.template, i'd suggest the following: ---- @packagename@ for Debian This package has the sole purpose of installing packages required for building the Debian package indicated by its name; it does so by depending on these packages: @depends@ It was generated by the mk-build-deps program from the information in the Build-Depends field(s) of the source package's debian/control file. @packagename@ can be safely removed after the package it was created for is built. If that breaks anything, a dependency is missing in the package's Depends field. ---- -- Package-specific info: --- /etc/devscripts.conf --- --- ~/.devscripts --- DSCVERIFY_KEYRINGS=~/.gnupg/debian.gpg DEBSIGN_KEYID=398D1112D3A4BDE1 -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.3.0-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages devscripts depends on: ii dpkg-dev 1.16.3 ii libc6 2.13-32 ii perl 5.14.2-11 ii python 2.7.2-10 ii python2.6 2.6.7-4 ii python2.7 2.7.3~rc2-2.1 Versions of packages devscripts recommends: ii at 3.1.13-1 ii curl 7.26.0-1 ii dctrl-tools 2.22 ii debian-keyring 2012.02.22 ii dput 0.9.6.3 ii dupload 2.7.0 ii equivs 2.0.9 ii fakeroot 1.18.3-1 ii gnupg 1.4.12-4 ii libcrypt-ssleay-perl 0.58-1 ii libjson-perl 2.53-1 ii libparse-debcontrol-perl 2.005-3 ii libsoap-lite-perl 0.714-1 ii liburi-perl 1.60-1 ii libwww-perl 6.04-1 ii lintian 2.5.7 ii man-db 2.6.1-2 ii patch 2.6.1-3 ii patchutils 0.3.2-1.1 ii python-debian 0.1.21 ii python-magic 5.11-1 ii sensible-utils 0.0.7 ii strace 4.5.20-2.3 ii unzip 6.0-6 ii wdiff 1.1.1-1 ii wget 1.13.4-3 ii xz-utils 5.1.1alpha+20110809-3 Versions of packages devscripts suggests: ii bsd-mailx [mailx] 8.1.2-0.20111106cvs-1 ii build-essential 11.5 ii cvs-buildpackage <none> ii devscripts-el <none> ii gnuplot 4.6.0-8 ii libauthen-sasl-perl <none> ii libfile-desktopentry-perl 0.04-3 ii libnet-smtp-ssl-perl <none> ii libterm-size-perl <none> ii libtimedate-perl 1.2000-1 ii libyaml-syck-perl 1.20-1 ii mutt 1.5.21-5+b1 ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:5.9p1-5 ii svn-buildpackage 0.8.4 ii w3m 0.5.3-8 -- no debconf information -- To use raw power is to make yourself infinitely vulnerable to greater powers. -- Bene Gesserit axiom
