debian-watch-not-mangling-version
The version of this package contains dfsg
, ds
,
or debian
, which normally indicates that the upstream source
has been repackaged to comply with the Debian Free Software Guidelines
(or similar reason), but there is no version mangling in the
debian/watch
file. Since the dfsg
string is not
part of the upstream version, the debian/watch
file should
use the dversionmangle option to remove the dfsg
before
version number comparison.
