[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#538683: Source format "3.0 (quilt)" allowed in testing/unstable
[ Same message sent in bcc to all remaining "FTBFS with new source format" ] Hello, the new source format "3.0 (quilt)" is now allowed in testing/unstable and having all packages buildable with the new format is a release goal (http://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/NewDebFormats). Thus it would be nice to see this bug fixed. If you want, you can directly fix the bug by switching the package to use the new format. In order to help you in this process, I have put some advice on the project page and will continue to complete it with answers to your questions: http://wiki.debian.org/Projects/DebSrc3.0#FAQ If you need help, please tag the bug help and someone might provide you a patch. Ask explicitely if you want a patch to convert the package to the new source format. The few packages that contain multiple tarballs in the .orig tarball should (ideally) be converted to the new format by using the multiple upstream tarball feature that it offers. I also recommend switching to quilt if you use another patch system since it's now the patch system that is endorsed by the dpkg maintainers. If you have questions, please ask. Cheers, -- Rapha?l Hertzog
