(maybe get rid of tap2deb) tap2deb fails on parsechangelog/debian

[acapnotic]

$ tap2deb -t telnet.tap
parsechangelog/debian: error: badly formatted trailer line, at changelog line 5
dpkg-buildpackage: unable to determine source package

[glyph]

Debian problem assigned to the obvious maintainer.

[radix]

tap2deb hasn't been touched in a long time. moshez, either fix this, or find a
maintainer, or it's not going to be in Twisted 2.0 (it could have a separate
home apart from Twisted, of course).

[itamarst]

The problem is you didn't pass the maintainer argument. I updated tap2deb to
require  it and to document the format. Leaving as bug since it should probably
enforce the correct format as well.

[moshez]

OK, I'm not sure what's going on here: Trying exactly what the instructions say, I get:

moshez@ceylon:~/src/twisted/Twisted$ ./bin/tap2deb -t telnet.tap
./bin/tap2deb: maintainer must be specified.

Trying the obvious thing:

moshez@ceylon:~/src/twisted/Twisted$ ./bin/tap2deb -t telnet.tap -m 'Moshe Zadka
 <moshez@divmod.com>' -u
dpkg-buildpackage: source package is twisted-telnet

Whole mess of warnings, yes, and then:

dpkg-buildpackage: full upload; Debian-native package (full source is included)
moshez@ceylon:~/src/twisted/Twisted$

Can anyone give reliable repro instructions which actually work?

[thijs]

Close it when it can't be reproduced, especially when the reporter can't provide more info?
