Package: debmake
Version: 4.2.0-1
Hi,
When I'm making upstream tarball with debmake -t,
(In an already packaged source tree)
I noticed that debmake excluded debian/ directory,
but not .pc directory. See the bottom script.
I tried a quick hack on file tar.py but failed.
* the gnu tar doesn't work with multiple --exclude arg
i.e. tar --exclude=dirA --exclude=dirB
* the gnu tar doesn't work with another style of multiple exclude
i.e. tar --exclude=dirA,dirB
* in order to exclude multiple files/dirs, tar -X may help
but we can't hardcode, here for example, strings like "cv-0.6"
into a list file tar-exclude.list for tar -X
Then I gave up to try. However I think this problem can be solved
in one way of followwing
* rsync source tree to dest, then rm [-r] files/dirs we don't
want for a upstream source.
* rsync with multiple --exclude options.
* [...]
Another problem is, should we dquilt pop -a before making an
upstream tarball? I did not find "quilt" in tar.py.
I submit this bug because, IMHO it would be better if debmake -t
can make upstream tarballs in an already packaged source tree,
avoiding user to pop patches, exclude dirs/cvs, and then tar zcvf
by hand. namely it would be more convenient.
If this is a bad idea, IMO debmake should at least warn
user (human) the existence of .pc dir, saying
"this is not the original source tree".
