[Pkg-salt-team] Uploaded repository - some issues remain

[Joe Healy]

Following the wiki I've imported the original 0.12.1 source package
from madduck and then the upstream 0.14.0.

I've made a few changes to various files in the debian directory
(control - for maintainers and a python-mako versioning issue) and
also deleted the .DS_file.

I don't think this last one has had the effect I want though.

although I think it will prevent the .DS_store file showing up for me
and hide my lintian error, I don't think the source package is created
properly.

I think I need to get the file deleted by using quilt or something
similar within the debian directory as part of the build process.

I've tried using quilt, but when I do the following:

dquilt new ds_store_remove
dquilt add ./doc/_themes/saltstack/static/fonts/.DS_Store
rm ./doc/_themes/saltstack/static/fonts/.DS_Store
dquilt refresh

I get a patch file created.

trying to build at this point gives me:

dh_quilt_patch
Applying patch ds_store
patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input.
Patch ds_store does not apply (enforce with -f)

and (fairly obviously) running:

dquilt pop
dquilt push

gives me a similar error.

This leads to two questions:

1) Am I correct in thinking that all modifications to the source need
to be done through the debian directory - normally the patches?
2) How do I delete a file (maybe it is just because the file is empty)
using quilt?


thanks,

Joe
