[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#1053255: mozilla-devscripts: dh_webext shouldn't look in .pc for manifest.json

[Andres Salomon]

Package: mozilla-devscripts
Version: 0.54.2+nmu1

While building a package using dh_webext, I noticed the following 
warning/error:

dh_webext: Found != 1 manifest.json, source PATH set to .

I was a bit confused because there's only one manifest.json file, but 
it turns out that the find command sees the following:

find . -name manifest.json -not -path './debian/*'
./manifest.json
./.pc/applications.patch/manifest.json

I have a quilt patch called debian/patches/applications.patch that 
modifies manifest.json. As such, when the package builds it creates 
that manifest.json file in the .pc directory. dh_webext shouldn't be 
picking that up; it should be ignoring everything in .pc.

I suggest the following command instead:
find . -name manifest.json -not -path './debian/*' -not -path './.pc/*'

In the script, that would look like this:
        candidates = subprocess.check_output(
            ["find", ".", "-name", "manifest.json", "-not", "-path", 
'./debian/*', "-not", "-path", './.pc/*'])
