Hi

The `debian/control` file contains the some fields that `cme` does not
know about and causes them to be re-ordered to the bottom of the stanza
when `cme` writes the file. The fields I noticed are:

  * Build-Driver (Source)

  * X-DH-Compat (Source)


There is some documentation for them at:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/debputy/-/blob/main/src/debputy/lsp/data/deb822_data/debian_control_reference_data.yaml?ref_type=heads

(That link also have all the fields I know about for `debian/control`,
feel free check for other fields missing in that file or `cme`)

Best regards,
Niels

This one is surprising. IIUC the doc you mention, this field can only have one
value (debian-rules) which is the default value. Is that correct ?

I can add this field, but I don't see the point.

ok, so we are migrating from a file (debian/compat) to a field in debian/
control. Which means debian/compat is now deprecated.

I'm worried if this is enforced on package using old compat version. what
happens then ?

All the best

Anyway, I've added this field.

But I cannot find this field in  [1]. Where is it documented ?

All the best

Hi, :)

Sorry, I did not get your first reply, so I did not see your follow up
until now.

Dominique Dumont:

The documentation lists only its default,  not an exhaustive list.

The field is used to load a Perl Module and there is currently a second
value (`debputy`) provided you have `debputy` installed. But like with
`dh` sequence add-ons, more modules could appear in the future.

Thanks.

Thanks for catching that. That is an oversight from me. The
`X-DH-Compat` field is a replacement for `debian/compat`. I will add it
shortly.

Best regards,
Niels

I've now found it, but the "Package" stanza.

I believe it should be in the "Source" stanza.

HTH

Dominique Dumont:

Thanks for noticing. I have fixed that as well.

Best regards,
Niels

Given that source/compat and X-DH-Compat are seldom used, I won't try to
implement a migration scheme in cme. I'll let user deal with this.

Other news, I've added lot of fields and cme now features (in theory) all fields
handled by debputy.

All the best.
