mirror.list defaults to jaunty on karmic

[Benjamin Drung]

Binary package hint: apt-mirror

After installing apt-mirror on karmic, the /etc/apt/mirror.list contains references to jaunty, not karmic, so when a user starts apt-mirror they will end up mirroring the "wrong" (non current) version.

Benjamin:

Could you write a short rationale on why the following changes need to be reapplied ? I couldn't find any bug documenting what the issues were, how they were fixed and/or why they have been dropped.
- debian/rules: Move binary-arch commands to binary-indep
- debian/control: Remove homepage from description

Also the privlages typo is mentioned twice in the changelog you propose.

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

The uploaded version 0.4.6-0ubuntu1 was based on 0.4.5-1 instead of 0.4.5-1ubuntu2. Thats why the changelog entries for 0.4.5-1ubuntu1 and 0.4.5-1ubuntu2 were missing and all improvements made by those were dropped.

- debian/rules: Move binary-arch commands to binary-indep
apt-mirror is written in Perl and is binary independent. So building the package should not use the binary-arch target.

- debian/control: Remove homepage from description
That was recommended by lintian. The control file has an special tag for the homepage.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package apt-mirror - 0.4.6-0ubuntu2
