Hi Simon,
At the end, I did work on the packaging of openvswitch.
The issue about the multiple update-rc.d was, as I expected, due to your
multiple calls to dh_installinit in debian/rules.
I have attached a patch which removes most lintian warnings and errors.
Please apply it, but before you upload, I would strongly suggest that
you do some functional tests, to make sure that I didn't break anything
(especially your init scripts, since I didn't understand the goal of
your double dh_installinit calls).
As I understand, you are also upstream for openvswitch. If that is the
case, then best would be to have the man page fixes to be applied
upstream, and the debian/patches folder to go away.
Now, the only remaining lintian issues are:
- no-upstream-changelog (this one can be ignore, IMO)
- W: openvswitch-switch: manpage-has-bad-whatis-entry
usr/share/man/man5/ovs-vswitchd.conf.db.5.gz (please fix it...)
- I: openvswitch source: debian-watch-file-is-missing (it'd be great to
have a watch file: where's your upstream tarball located?)
I hope that helps,
Cheers,
Thomas Goirand (zigo)
