Dear Ximin, While I agree with you that it would be nice to have a big fat warning when `debuild` attempts to build package with no patches applied, I must mention that sometimes current behaviour is quite useful. When you're hacking the source tree and finalising your patches it is convenient that `debuild -b` is not trying to re-apply them. This is only happening when you're building with "-b" option. Without "-b" patches will be applied and `debuild` will fail on any error.
Regarding #728097 that you mentioned you should have build your package in clean environment (e.g. using pbuilder) in first place. Many other problems will happen if you're not building in clean chroot before upload. -- All the best, Dmitry Smirnov GPG key : 4096R/53968D1B -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
