Package: devscripts Version: 2.16.7 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/bin/dscverify
Hi, dscverify currently uses multiple regexes to parse a .dsc. Instead libdpkg-perl could be used. The advantages would be: - shorter code of dscverify - always using the latest hash sum algorithms - less surface for bugs to appear - automatic support for other signed deb822 formats with file lists If you would appreciate a conversion of the current dscverify code to libdpkg-perl, then please shout. I have experience with using the dpkg's perl api from using it for sbuild and I can easily provide a patch if that would be appreciated by the devscript maintainers. Thanks! cheers, josch
