Subject: [php5] Literal "$" keyword in UPGRADING (and other documents)

Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2014 11:10:52 -0400

Package: php5-common
Version: 5.6.0~beta4+dfsg-4
Severity: minor

UPGRADING.gz starts with:
> $Id$
>
> PHP 5.6 UPGRADE NOTES
>
> 1. Backward Incompatible Changes
> 2. New Features

Several other files from /usr/share/doc/php5-common/ also start with a literal "$Id$". This must be the Subversion keyword. It's not pretty to ship Id-s, but also completely useless when they aren't expanded.

This may have happened following a migration from Subversion upstream, or it may be due to a packaging problem. A checkout should cause substitution if svn:keywords is properly set.

So what? We are shipping the files as distributed by the upstream.

Closing the bug as there's none.

If it hurts you aesthetic emotions, go report that to upstream bug
tracker.

So we're shipping content which is not only broken, but worthless.

Reopening; that's a bug, whether you like it or not.

If you're confident that this is an upstream bug, go report it there.

We do not think it's in the interest of a quality Debian package to spend
our development time getting this stray tag removed. If you think
otherwise, you're welcome to try and get it fixed at the source.
