Unfortunately I just uploaded a new equivs version less than a day ago. Will convert this from -d to this anyway with the next upload. Will though probably wait until the current version has been migrated to testing due to the RC bug fix. (Although this is the better fix for that issue.)Can we bring the -d back? This break a workflow I’ve been depending on for quite a few years.I use equivs to build empty packages to use in integration tests for OBS. They need to have dependencies between them, but none of them are part of Debian, and none of them are installed in the container that runs the test runner script. With no way to add -d, building of the package always fails.: Now create an empty dependent package in the public project cat > public-pkg.equivs <<EOF Package: public-pkg Build-Depends: debhelper-compat (= 12), hidden-pkg EOF equivs-build --source public-pkg.equivs
Ok, I guess there is still a bug and an uncertainty how to best deal with builddeps, and I also think the RC bug itself, where equivs broke software in Debian is fixed, and the remaining issue is a separate question; hence doing some bug manipulation with this mail.
