I'd like some Ack's or contrary opinions on this before proceeding...
We occasionally end up with .git directories or other cruft in our
kernel source packages, when packagers forget to use the "-I -i" flags
with debuild. To avoid this problem, I propose that we enable the "-I
-i" behavior by default for all of our kernel package branches by
creating the file debian/source/options with these contents (see the
dpkg-source man page for details):
# force "dpkg-source -I -i" behavior
diff-ignore
tar-ignore
I've tested the resulting behavior. AFAICT, it works as desired in all
branches. Specifically, I intend to add it to the following branches:
ubuntu-lucid master-next
ubuntu-lucid-lbm master
ubuntu-lucid-meta master
ubuntu-lucid-meta ports
ubuntu-precise master-next
ubuntu-precise lts-backport-trusty
ubuntu-precise-lbm master
ubuntu-precise-meta master
ubuntu-precise-meta lts-backport-trusty
ubuntu-precise-signed master
ubuntu-precise-signed lts-backport-trusty
ubuntu-trusty master-next
ubuntu-trusty lts-backport-utopic
ubuntu-trusty-meta master
ubuntu-trusty-meta lts-backport-utopic
ubuntu-trusty-signed master
ubuntu-trusty-signed lts-backport-utopic
ubuntu-utopic master-next
ubuntu-utopic-meta master
ubuntu-utopic-signed master
ubuntu-vivid master-next
ubuntu-vivid-meta master
ubuntu-vivid-signed master
