Actually, there is one case where the => magic will result in unexpected behaviour with --list-missing: if the source is already under debian/tmp, then we copy it, rewrite the location, and thus, the old file will not be known to dh_install. A solution for this case is to move the file instead, if it's already under debian/tmp. And thinking a bit more about it, => will almost always break --sourcedir. I do not know a solution for that, so this restriction will be documented instead. -- |8] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
