Hi! Due to bug 718295, and in preparation to add non-gzip compression support for control.tar, I've tried to get an accurate view of the current deb(5) format support in software present in Debian. The resulting table looks pretty bad:
<https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Dpkg/DebSupport> Please help by filling it with either other software that you might know handles .deb files directly, so that these can get coordinated on format changes, by filling the '?' in there or by correcting existing entries (but if in doubt about specific conclusions, please ask here), or even by actually fixing the software listed there. I should probably also add other columns, like the type of R/W support, acceptance of bogus/broken/damaged archives, and similar, but maybe another day. I've reported some of the problems, might try report the rest in the coming future. Thanks, Guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
