Subject: dpkg-source: please accept DM-Upload-Allowed field in control (and import to dsc)
Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2007 11:20:07 +0000
Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.14.12
Severity: normal

Currently, dpkg-source does not recognise the
DM-Upload-Allowed: control field and therefore does not
import it into the dsc it generates:

    $ dpkg-source -b sudo-1.6.9p6
    dpkg-source: warning: unknown information field 'Dm-Upload-Allowed' in input data in general section of control info file
    ...
    dpkg-source: building sudo in sudo_1.6.9p6-1.1.dsc
    $ grep -i dm-upload sudo*dsc

This can be worked around by using "XS-DM-Upload-Allowed"
at the moment.

Please also note that it has downcased the M in DM: I doubt
this will cause a problem but maybe someone familiar with
dak code can shed some confirm.

The DM-Upload-Allowed field is used to determine whether an
upload signed by a key in the debian-maintainers keyring
will be accepted into the archive. Please see
<http://www.debian.org/vote/2007/vote_003> for information
on the debian maintainers process.

Changes: 
 dpkg (1.14.16) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   [ Guillem Jover ]
   * Add build-essential as an implicit Build-Depends in dpkg-checkbuilddeps.
     Closes: #402901
   * Add build-essential to dpkg-dev Recommends.
   * Do not warn about unrecognized Homepage field in binary package stanzas
     in dpkg-genchanges and dpkg-source. Closes: #460309
   * Do not use the enoent helper binary, and use perl POSIX module instead.
   * Keep checking for the process when start-stop-daemon is called with
     --retry even if the daemon removed the pidfile. Closes: #460903
     Thanks to Justin Pryzby for the analysis.
   * Make --quiet silence --test in start-stop-daemon. Closes: #367998
   * Check current uid and gid in start-stop-daemon before calling setuid,
     setgid and initgroups. Closes: #222524
     Based on a patch by Samuel Thibault.
   * Remove unimplemented --test option from update-alternatives.
     Closes: #392432, #461247
   * Additionally check if errno is EEXIST after rmdir(2), as SUSv3 specifies
     that on non-empty directories it can either return that or ENOTEMPTY.
     This fixes run time problems on Solaris.
   * Fix start-stop-daemon --help output to state that --name is one of the
     possible required options to use. Closes: #354999
   * Demote dselect from priority important to optional. Closes: #461327
   * Fix portability issues on HP-UX, by not using backticks inside double
     quotes in m4 files. Closes: #24514
   * Switch Maintainer address to <debian-dpkg@lists.debian.org> from
     <team@dpkg.org>.
   * Add README.feature-removal-schedule describing the features to be removed
     and README.api describing the provided APIs.
 .
   [ Frank Lichtenheld ]
   * Make the -L option of dpkg-parsechangelog actually work (it's
     only been eleven years...)
   * Import the code from my external Parse::DebianChangelog as
     Dpkg::Changelog and Dpkg::Changelog::Debian. Using this
     from parsechangelog/debian adds the following requested
     features:
      - Option to use a non-lossy format. Closes: #95579
      - Various options to better control how many entries
        should be displayed. Closes: #226932
 .
   [ Raphael Hertzog ]
   * Replaced all the remaining code in controllib.pl by new modules. All
     scripts have been adjusted to use the new modules and controllib.pl has
     been removed.
   * The code to parse debian/control is available in a perl module
     Dpkg::Control. Closes: #26554
   * Temporarily add a Breaks: dpkg-dev (= 1.14.13), dpkg-dev (= 1.14.14) on
     dpkg for the convenience of sid users. Closes: #459815
   * Update dpkg-source(1) to explain better what the directory after -b is.
     Closes: #323606
   * Also force version in 1.14.16 if dpkg-gencontrol -v<version>
     is used. That way we're consistent with the definition of that variable
     in deb-substvars(5). Closes: #433477
   * Add support of Dm-Upload-Allowed field. Closes: #453400
   * Fix dpkg-shlibdeps's filtering of duplicated dependencies in fields of
     lesser priority (when -d is used).
   * Fix behaviour of dpkg-shlibdeps when the same binary was passed multiple
     times for use in different dependency fields (-d option).
   * Change logic of -si option of dpkg-genchanges to include the original
     tarball only if the current upstream version differs from the upstream
     version of the previous changelog entry. Replaces the heuristic based
     on revision number (-0, -0.1 or -1). Closes: #28701
   * Some code refactoring on dpkg-genchanges and bug fixes in the generation
     of the Description: field. As a result, source only uploads will no more
     have Description fields.
   * Add support of wildcard entries in symbols files. This makes it much
     simpler to write symbols files for well managed libraries but in that case
     dpkg-gensymbols can't check any more if symbols have disappeared.
     Closes: #459359
 .
   [ Updated manpages translations ]
   * Fix typo in French. Closes: #460021
   * German (Helge Kreutzmann).
 .
   [ Updated dpkg translations ]
   * Basque (Piarres Beobide). Closes: #459565
   * French (Christian Perrier).
   * German, Basque, Norwegian Bokmål, Swedish, Vietnamese, Simplified Chinese,
     Galician unfuzzied.
   * Russian (Yuri Kozlov). Closes: #460708
