Package: svn-buildpackage Version: 0.6.14 Severity: normal
Hi, ... We have a package which is in a subversion repository, and which has a debian/control.in which is used to generate the debian/control before the first source upload. Naturally using svn-buildpackage fails because of the missing debian/control. I thought of using a pre-build hook as follows : svn-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc --svn-prebuild="debian/rules debian/control" But it failed with : dpkg-checkbuilddeps dpkg-checkbuilddeps: error: cannot read control file debian/control: No such file or directory Insufficient Build-Deps, stop! So, i wonder if there is a bug in svn-buildpackage and the prebuild hook should be called before dpkg-checkbuilddeps is called (but after svn export is done), or if we need another hook to do this. I guess this is a rather common thing to need to do, so having svn-buildpackage support this option makes a lot of sense (to me at least). The other question i had, we have a debian/svn-deblayout, which contains some urls and stuff, but i am wondering if this is also the right place to put this prebuild hook, it would be nice in any case, so all knowledge about how to build the package is included in the package, but the svn-buildpackage doesn't mention that file, nor the various other documentation, which only mention a ~/.svn-buildpackage.conf file, but not one relative to the current builddir.
