Source: gnupod-tools Version: 0.99.8-2.1 Severity: normal User: debian-p...@lists.debian.org Usertags: perl-5.24-transition rename-deprecation
Dear maintainer, This package was found to contain uses of the 'rename' and/or 'prename' (which is an alias) command. This was previously implemented by a script added to the perl package by Debian, but there is now a maintained alternative in the 'rename' package. Please add a Build-Depends on 'rename', to avoid breakage in your package when we remove the rename script from the perl package (expected after the release of stretch). Additionally, if you are currently using 'prename', please use 'rename' (which is handled by the alternatives mechanism) or file-rename, which is the new implementation. You can see more background about this change at <https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2014/02/msg00024.html>. Thanks, Dominic Details of the use of (p)rename in your package follow: debian/rules 17: sh $(CURDIR)/debian/maintenance/01patch_rename.sh $(SRCDIR) $(VERSION) 46: rename 's/\.pl//' $(CURDIR)/debian/gnupod-tools/usr/bin/*.pl 47: rename 's/\.pl//' $(CURDIR)/debian/gnupod-tools/usr/share/man/man1/*.gz
