Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.17.6 Severity: wishlist Hi! While maintaining the KDE/Qt stack I'm sometimes confronted with a problem that I think we can solve here.
The point is that if a package ships multiple symbols files but dpkg-gensymbols finds missing symbols in one of them it will not process the others. This means that we only get the differences from the symbols files that got processed but not the others, thus throwing away important information. It would be very good if we could make dpkg-gensymbols to process all files and failing after the last one if at least one of them contained a problem. Currently the only thing we can do to take the most of a build is to not fail at all, but that's not a good solution. I would really love to provide a patch, but my perl skills are... :-/ -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.12.6+edid (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=es_AR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=es_AR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages dpkg-dev depends on: ii base-files 7.2 ii binutils 2.24-3 ii bzip2 1.0.6-5 ii libdpkg-perl 1.17.6 ii make 3.81-8.3 ii patch 2.7.1-4 ii xz-utils 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2 Versions of packages dpkg-dev recommends: ii build-essential 11.6 ii clang-3.3 [c-compiler] 1:3.3-16 ii fakeroot 1.20-3 ii gcc [c-compiler] 4:4.8.2-2 ii gcc-4.4 [c-compiler] 4.4.7-7 ii gcc-4.6 [c-compiler] 4.6.4-5 ii gcc-4.7 [c-compiler] 4.7.3-10 ii gcc-4.8 [c-compiler] 4.8.2-14 ii gnupg 1.4.16-1 ii gnupg2 2.0.22-3 ii gpgv 1.4.16-1 ii libalgorithm-merge-perl 0.08-2 Versions of packages dpkg-dev suggests: ii debian-keyring 2013.12.13 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
