Package: coreutils Version: 8.21-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi,
coreutils claims to be compatible with Standards-Version 3.9.4, but it is missing the mandatory targets "build-arch" and "build-indep"[1]. I have tried to devise a sample patch for this, which seems to work. With it, dpkg-buildpackage -A should be really fast as it will now skip configure + compilation (since the arch:all package is empty). The build-arch target can be tested via dpkg-buildpackage -B. Thanks for considering, ~Niels [1] http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#s-debianrules ยง4.9 [...] build-arch (required), build-indep (required) [...]
