[Debtags-devel] Local patches

[Free Ekanayaka]

Hi all!

I'm new to the list. As I told Enrico a couple of  times my goal is to
use debtags a categorisation tool for building CDDs.

I  finally found some time to  do some basic experimentation, and I've
already a couple of issues:

1) debtags seems to ignore files in /etc/debtags/tagpatch.d/, while if I place
   the patch file in ~/.debtags/patch then it works nicely
   
   an strace -eopen debtags show mypack reveals that debtags is not opening
   the patch file in /etc/debtags/tagpatch.d/ at all

2) Many packages are missing in the database (e.g. ams, jackeq. amsynth), so that
   I can't apply a local patches. Even debtags-edit seems to ignore them: although
   they appear in the package list and I can apply tags to them, these tags won't
   be saved in ~/.debtags/patch nor sent to the server with the email command.

Cheers,

Free
