Invalid Packages File

[klen]

Hello,

Thank you for the tool. I try to setup repository and using fpm and prm.

My Makefile shortcut looks like:

TARGET?=$(CURDIR)/deb
PACKAGE_VERSION?=$(shell git describe --tags `git rev-list master --tags --max-count=1`) 
PACKAGE_NAME="vim-python-mode"
PACKAGE_MAINTAINER="Kirill Klenov <horneds@gmail.com>"
PACKAGE_URL=http://github.com/klen/python-mode
deb: clean $(CURDIR)/build
    @fpm -s dir -t deb -a all \
    -n $(PACKAGE_NAME) \
    -v $(PACKAGE_VERSION) \
    -m $(PACKAGE_MAINTAINER) \
    --url $(PACKAGE_URL) \
    --license "GNU lesser general public license" \
    --description "Vim-Swissknife for python" \
    --deb-user root \
    --deb-group root \
    -C $(CURDIR)/build \
    -d "python2.7" \
    -d "vim-addon-manager" \
    usr
    @mkdir -p $(TARGET)
    @prm --type deb --path $(TARGET) \
    --release precise \
    --arch amd64,i386,all \
    --component main \
    --directory $(CURDIR) \
    --gpg horneds@gmail.com

Fpm makes build as well and prm prepares repo. But generated Packages have error:

Package: vim-python-mode
Version: 0.7.4b
License: GNU lesser general public license
Vendor: horneds@pulsar-22.local
Architecture: all
Maintainer: Kirill Klenov <horneds@gmail.com>

Depends: python2.7, vim-addon-manager
Section: default

MD5sum: a0647e24058288ad9c7159bf8fdb2137
Size: 522308

Description and Filename are merged in one string. So, the generated repository is invalid.

As temporary solution I just add another one '\n' to Packages file generation. And it fix my problem.

diff --git a/lib/prm/repo.rb b/lib/prm/repo.rb

I just tripped over this as well. Worse, I think it was my patch adding the chomp that might've caused this. :-(

Sorry for the delay! Holiday season has got me rolling over.

I've merged this latest pull request from saintaardvark. I'll be uploading the new gem to rubygems.org shortly
