Hi Raphaël, Trying to build a package of format 3.0 (quilt) with the upstream tarball missing, I get errors:
$ debuild -I -i -b dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -D -us -uc -I -i -b [...] dpkg-source -I -i --before-build csound dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture i386 dpkg-source: error: can't build with source format '3.0 (quilt)': no orig.tar file found As I understand it, the problem is this: - before building, people want dpkg-buildpackage to make sure all patches are applied for them - this requires looking at the source package - there is no source package Personally, I am not sure about that first step: shouldn’t dpkg-buildpackage just build whatever it is presented with, leaving the unpack and build processes entirely independent? In other words, I wish the facility to call --before-build were optional. But I am open to other solutions, too. Thoughts?
