Hi, as a QA effort the whole archive was rebuilt yesterday to catch build-failures, whether a package can be build twice in a row (unpack, build, clean, build). We found about 400 packages not having a sane clean target.
To cite http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#s-debianrules clean This must undo any effects that the build and binary targets may have had, except that it should leave alone any output files created in the parent directory by a run of a binary target. We started filing bugs to each effected package with severity important, those can be found at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/[EMAIL PROTECTED];tag=qa-doublebuild Building twice is not yet a requirement, but will (hopefully) become release goal for Lenny. Greetings Martin
