Dear maintainer:

The following command does not work:

$ debcheckout  rust-rebuildctl
declared git repository at https://salsa.debian.org/rust-team/debcargo-conf.git [src/rebuildctl]
git clone https://salsa.debian.org/rust-team/debcargo-conf.git [src/rebuildctl] rust-rebuildctl ...
Cloning into 'rust-rebuildctl'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://salsa.debian.org/rust-team/debcargo-conf.git [src/rebuildctl]/': URL rejected: Malformed input to a URL function
checkout failed (the command above returned a non-zero exit code)

Looks like the Vcs-Git control field is not using a correct syntax.

Thanks.

This is the correct syntax according to Debian Policy when referring to a dir within the git repo (similar to how "-b branch" is optionally allowed to specify a non default branch)..

Maybe reassign to debcheckout? ;)

Regards,
Fabian

thanks

Hello. I reported this against rust-rebuildctl, but it is likely
to be a bug in "debcheckout", so I'm doing a reassign.

Thanks.

Santiago, can you please do a quick check and see if the version
in sid works?

The sid version does not work either.

(I checked before the reassign, but I used the stable version
because maybe it would be worth to be fixed in stable
for some point release).

Thanks.

thanks for confirming.

:)

Given that a new stable release is "around the corner" I doubt this will
happen, but why not. I would certainly applaud it!
