Hi I would like that 'apt install signify' install OpenBSD's signify (from the Debian 'signify-openbsd' package) and not the 2003 mail-related signify perl script from the Debian 'signify' source package.
I would also like that /usr/bin/signify is OpenBSD's signify, after doing the 'apt install signify', instead of /usr/bin/signify-openbsd. As background please read: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=951010 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=738884 What do you think about the attached debdiff for the existing (non-OpenBSD) 'signify' source package? This will rename the binary package to 'signify-mail', as suggested in the first bug report above, and add a 'signify (<< 1.14-8~)' Replaces header. Is anything more required here? Any objections to an upload? The package seems to be orphan'ed and QA-maintained. One alternative is to remove the package, but that seems to involve more effort than a QA upload. The next step would be for the 'signify-openbsd' source package to rename the 'signify-openbsd' binary package to 'signify'. I believe it should declare a Conflicts and Breaks towards 'signify (<< 1.14-8~)'. The final step would be for signify-openbsd's 'signify' package to rename the binary into /usr/bin/signify, and that would require adding a Conflicts/Breaks towards all versions of signify-mail. Tomasz, what do you think about this? Adding debian-devel to get wider review of the Replaces/Conflicts/version magic, this always tend to confuse me. See pipeline for the 'signify' source package that I propose to upload: https://salsa.debian.org/jas/signify/-/pipelines/742414 To make this happen for trixie, I don't see how to do it. Anyone having the old 'signify' package on their system would get OpenBSD's signify instead of the new 'signify-mail' package after an upgrade. Is that problem really worth caring about? I think a release note about this could solve it. I believe OpenBSD's 'signify' is important enough to warrant this to be part of trixie instead of having to wait for t+1. /Simon
