Subject: dpkg-dev: dpkg-source and final newlines
Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.4.0.7
I have a upstream source package that is shipped with a file that lacks
final newline. This presents problems because of the way dpkg-source deals
with files w/o a final newline. If I try to unpack the package with
dpkg-source, I get this error:
dpkg-source: error: diff contains unknown line `\ No newline at end of file'
I think I have 3 ways to correct this in my package:
1. Ask the upstream maintainer to put out a new version of the package with
all files having a final newline. This seems like imposing debian's
limitations on others, and I'd rather not.
2. Edit the .orig.tar.gz and add the final newline. But then the
.orig.tar.gz will not be original, unmodified source. So I'd prefer not to
do this.
3. Don't modify any files that lack final newlines. Treat them asbinary
files, which can't be touched.
I'm going with option #3 for now, but I'm very unhappy with it. I hope that
dpkg-source can be changed to be more forgiving of this situation.
