Package: libparse-debianchangelog-perl Version: 1.2.0-10 Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
at the moment, Parse::DebianChangelog left-trims the file name in
error messages. This caused some trouble when processing a major set
of packages where one had a zero-size debian/changelog.
As a demonstation:
=====================================================================
#!/usr/bin/perl
use 5.010;
use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Temp qw(tempfile);
use Parse::DebianChangelog;
my ($fh, $temp_file) = tempfile (
"Parse::DebianChangelog.$$.XXXXX",
'TMPDIR' => 1,
'UNLINK' => 1,
);
print "Changelog file is $temp_file\n";
my $chglog = Parse::DebianChangelog->init();
$chglog->parse( { infile => $temp_file } );
=====================================================================
| Changelog file is /tmp/Parse::DebianChangelog.607990.0zl6f
| WARN: /tmp/Parse::DebianCh(l0): found eof where expected first heading
Identifying the culprit took more time for me than it should,
especially since the actual trimming wasn't marked as such, i.e. even
"/tmp/Parse::DebianCh(...)(l0)" would have been of help. The current
output however left me somewhat lost.
Suggestions:
- Don't trim at all
- Trim the file name on the left side, and to at least 30 characters.
Rationale: A path name as in "project-name/debian/changelog" should
still be fully visible.
And if you trim the name, mark it accordingly.
Regards,
Christoph
