Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.15.7.1 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/bin/dpkg-buildpackage
Hi, I just run into the problem with the following command sequence: dpkg-source -x foo.dsc cd */ quilt pop edit file quilt refresh dpkg-buildpackage -b I simply forgot to quilt push -a again before building. Due to the nature of the missing patch the package did build succesfully but is completly useless. Given that dpkg now consistently uses the .pc dir to track applied patches it should be easy to detect if patches have been forgotten and abort. There could be an option to build anyway and an option to apply missing patches. Since aborting is the least harmfull, it doesn't build broken debs and does not alter the working dir, I think that should be the default behaviour. MfG Goswin PS: Personally I want the option to apply missing patches before build. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31.6-xen-2010.02.18 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=de_DE (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages dpkg-dev depends on: ii base-files 5.0.0 Debian base system miscellaneous f ii binutils 2.20-5 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii bzip2 1.0.5-4 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libdpkg-perl 1.15.7.1 Dpkg perl modules ii make 3.81-7 An utility for Directing compilati ii patch 2.6-2 Apply a diff file to an original ii xz-utils 4.999.9beta+20100117-1 XZ-format compression utilities Versions of packages dpkg-dev recommends: ii build-essential 11.4 Informational list of build-essent ii fakeroot 1.14.4-1 Gives a fake root environment ii gcc [c-compiler] 4:4.4.3-1 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-4.4 [c-compiler] 4.4.3-7 The GNU C compiler ii gnupg 1.4.10-2 GNU privacy guard - a free PGP rep ii gpgv 1.4.10-2 GNU privacy guard - signature veri pn libalgorithm-merge-perl <none> (no description available) Versions of packages dpkg-dev suggests: ii debian-keyring 2009.11.04 GnuPG (and obsolete PGP) keys of D -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
