Subject: packaging-manual: pkg build process must be non-interactive
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.20
Severity: wishlist
Currently, the packaging manual only says that the `build' target of
debian/rules has to be non-interactive. Since an interactive debian/rules
script makes it impossible to autocompile that package and also makes it
hard for other people to reproduce the same binary package, the packaging
manual should be changed to require that all _required targets_ have to be
non-interactive. (Additional debian/rules targets may be interactive.)
This topic has been covered in Policy Weekly Issue #5, topic 9 and has
been approved by the developers already.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
Thanks,
Chris
