Package: automake Version: 1:1.11.6-1ubuntu1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I maintain the procenv application which is slightly unusual in that as part of its package build (make check as handled by dh_auto_test), it runs itself to allow those viewing the build logs to see the sort of environment that, for example, a buildd provides. This has proved to be extremely useful in the past debugging issues with _other_ packages build failures caused by erroneous assumptions made about the build environment. Indeed, I've added links to various sets of build logs on the tools project page as and aid to others: https://launchpad.net/procenv/ All used to work perfectly until (I think) the recent change to automake 1.13. Now, although the tests run, the build log just shows the test summary, like this: ============================================================================ Testsuite summary for procenv 0.23 ============================================================================ # TOTAL: 2 # PASS: 2 # SKIP: 0 # XFAIL: 0 # FAIL: 0 # XPASS: 0 # ERROR: 0 ============================================================================ I've tried various hacks to force the old verbose/non-silent "make check" build behaviour including: 1) Explicitly specifying `AM_SILENT_RULES([yes])' in configure.ac and then forcing `--disable-silent-rules' in debian/rules via override_dh_auto_configure. 2) Forcing the setting of V=1 and VERBOSE=1 in various places. Is there a way to re-enable a verbose build that displays more than the test summary such as the following? I suspect (2) is the more official way to control automakes verbosity, but I haven't yet found the magic incantation that works in a Debian build environment. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers raring-updates APT policy: (500, 'raring-updates'), (500, 'raring-security'), (500, 'raring') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.8.0-23-generic (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages automake depends on: ii autoconf 2.69-1ubuntu1 ii autotools-dev 20120608.1 ii dpkg 1.16.10ubuntu1 ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-10ubuntu4 automake recommends no packages. automake suggests no packages. -- no debconf information Kind regards, James. -- James Hunt ____________________________________ #upstart on freenode http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/upstart-devel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
