[ubuntu-dev] Bug#645958: Patch is wrong (sorry)

[Stefano Rivera]

Hi Laurent (2011.10.20_08:18:34_+0200)

BTW, you don't have to use reportbug to reply to this bug, you can just
reply to the e-mail. As long as a copy goes to 645958 at bugs.debian.org,
it will be added to the bug page.

Please feel free to provide patches for the manpages too :)

(which is just a default value for TEMPLATE_SOURCES)

Not yet, but with your patch, yes.

I'd say the same order as TEMPLATE_CHROOTCONF + types:
 ${TEMPLATE_SOURCES}.${DISTRO}
 $TEMPLATE_SOURCES
(and $TEMPLATE_SOURCES has a default value)

Even better, if we can find a way to use the _MIRROR variables (in
.devscripts / environment) that other ubuntu-dev-tools packages use.
See ubuntu-dev-tools(5).
