In deb control files, each line of a long description starts with a single space. Empty lines are represented by a single space followed by a single full stop character.
Signed-off-by: Andreas Oberritter <o...@opendreambox.org> --- Please note: As opkg uses the same format, I believe this to be broken in do_package_ipk, too, which generates '.' for empty lines instead of ' .'. Contrary to the removed comment, the use of textwrap.fill is pointless here. meta/classes/package_deb.bbclass | 5 +---- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/meta/classes/package_deb.bbclass b/meta/classes/package_deb.bbclass index 1f1bc81..3cd5efa 100644 --- a/meta/classes/package_deb.bbclass +++ b/meta/classes/package_deb.bbclass @@ -176,10 +176,7 @@ python do_package_deb () { if '\\n' in description: # Manually indent for t in description.split('\\n'): - # We don't limit the width when manually indent, but we do - # need the textwrap.fill() to set the initial_indent and - # subsequent_indent, so set a large width - ctrlfile.write('%s\n' % textwrap.fill(t, width=100000, initial_indent=' ', subsequent_indent=' ')) + ctrlfile.write(' %s\n' % (t.strip() or '.')) else: # Auto indent ctrlfile.write('%s\n' % textwrap.fill(description.strip(), width=74, initial_indent=' ', subsequent_indent=' ')) -- 2.7.4 -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
