Hi Dominique,

I get the following error with the attached control file.

    In config class 'Dpkg::Control::Binary', (location: binary:"r-cran-cftime" Description) element 'Description' (level normal) has a configuration model error:
    	Too many fix loops: check code used to fix value or the check

Surely there is a line that is too long anyway, but it would be great if
cme would fix it :)

Have a nice day,

Charles

Hi

 <https://cf-convention.github.io/Data/cf-conventions/cf-conventions-1.13/cf-conventions.html#time-coordinate>.

I think we have 2 choices:
- split the line, which would break the URL
- avoid splitting lines without spaces

I think the latter is better even if this does not fix too long lines in control files. (I  guess I could add a warning without fix in this case).

What do you think ?

All the best

Dod

Hi Dominique,

Yes, it must be this line.  I think that it would be good to keep it as it is;
other tools are going to issue a warning anyway.

Cheers,

Charles

Hello,

Bug #1145300 in libconfig-model-dpkg-perl reported by you has been fixed in the
Git repository and is awaiting an upload. You can see the commit
message below and you can check the diff of the fix at:

https://salsa.debian.org/perl-team/modules/packages/libconfig-model-dpkg-perl/-/commit/c1aa00f396025d25c78a22e4bac9a265b3944307
Weirdly enough, Test::Autoformat does not reformat correctly the
paragraph:

 (many of which are not compliant with POSIXt). The CF time coordinate
 is formally defined in the CF Metadata Conventions document available at
 <https://cf-convention.github.io/Data/cf-conventions/cf-conventions-1.13/cf-conventions.html#time-coordinate>.

It's reformated to something like with a line still too long:

 (many of which are not compliant with POSIXt). The CF time coordinate
 is formally defined in the CF Metadata Conventions document available at <https://cf-convention.github.io/Data/cf-
 conventions/cf-conventions-1.13/cf-conventions.html#time-coordinate>.

This bad reformat is not changed on further tries of the fix, hence
the crash.

This patch:
- better detects lines that should be left alone.
- set Autoformat option break to avoid breaking the URL.

Closes: #1145300
