debian-watch-mangles-debian-version-improperly
The version of this package contains dfsg
, ds
,
or debian
, but a misleading upstream version mangling occurs in
the debian/watch
file. Since the dfsg
string is not
part of the upstream version and its addition is Debian-specific, the
debian/watch
file should use the dversionmangle option to
remove, instead of adding in uversionmangle, the dfsg
before
comparing version numbers.
For more information please consult:
