Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.16.1.1
Severity: important
While working on my package, I've noticed that the
debuild -nc -b
command no longer works properly - i.e. it recompiles
almost everything instead of just use already built files.
It's because dpkg-source automatically unapplied patches
as a part of the previous build, so `-nc -b' needs
to re-apply them and recompile. It just wastes my time.
I've found this fragment in man page:
--unapply-patches
Unapply the patches in the --after-build hook.
You usually don't need this option as
dpkg-source will automatically unapply the patches
if it did apply them during --before-build.
OK, it might be a very good option for one-time builds,
but I'm pretty sure it will be considered as nightmare
by any developer who actually wants to work on the package.
Please either add `--no-unapply-patches' or make `--unapply-patches'
disabled by default.
Regards,
robert
