Package: cdbs Version: 0.4.26-4 Severity: normal Hi,
If simple-patchsys.mk is included, and debian/patches doesn't exist (or is empty), the build just hangs. You can see the cause of the hang here: 19608 pts/13 S+ 0:00 /usr/bin/make -f debian/rules clean 19638 pts/13 S+ 0:00 /bin/sh -c if lsdiff=`which lsdiff` ; then $lsdiff -H | egrep "/config\.(guess|sub|rpath)$" | tr "\n" " " ; fi 19641 pts/13 S+ 0:00 /usr/bin/lsdiff -H 19642 pts/13 S+ 0:00 grep -E /config\.(guess|sub|rpath)$ 19643 pts/13 S+ 0:00 tr \n The DEB_PATCHES variable ends up being empty, which means that $$lsdiff -H $(DEB_PATCHES) ends up being `/usr/bin/lsdiff -H`, which simply hangs. This definitely should not end up in sarge. One can fix it by adding a patch to debian/patches, or commenting out the simple-patchsys.mk line. Of course, when someone updates their package to a new upstream version, deleting merged patches, and then discovers that the package no longer builds, they may not realize this immediately. :) -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10-1-686m Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
