[Bug 1276155] Re: dpkg-dev: please add override for rejecting native/non-native version when building native/non-native source packages

Wed Feb 5 14:46:14 UTC 2014

This is addressed with the following upload.  It makes more sense to me for us to
maintain the status quo with an error->warning downgrade until Debian decides
where to move with this and we can choose to follow suit or not:

dpkg (1.17.5ubuntu3) trusty; urgency=medium

  * Change native source version/format mismatch errors into warnings until
    the dust settles on Debian bug 737634 about revert or override options.

Title:
  dpkg-dev: please add override for rejecting native/non-native version
  when building native/non-native source packages

Status in “dpkg” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “dpkg” package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  Please add override for the below "bugfix".

  Imported from Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/700177:

  Package: dpkg-dev
  Version: 1.16.9
  Severity: wishlist
  Tags: patch

  Please ensure that the package version matches its nativity state
  in 3.0 (quilt/native) packages. Having dpkg-source allow to create
  native packages with non-native versions and non-native packages with
  native versions can be quite confusing, so better reject them directly.
  (Attached patch does this for 3.0 (quilt) and 3.0 (native) packages,
  where this change should be safe to be done and does not touch any legacy
  source package formats).

  Subject: [PATCH] Dpkg::Version,
   Dpkg::Source::Package::V3::{quilt,native}: catch
   invalid version strings

  Ensure that a 3.0 (quilt) package has a non-native version and that a
  3.0 (native) package has a native version.
  To get the information, extend Dpkg::Version with a is_native method to
  check whether a version has a revision or not.
