The bad news: it doesn't build in a clean CHROOT: > === configuring in fallbacks (/tmp/buildd/abinit-6.12.3/fallbacks) > [..] > checking whether to enable the LINALG fallback... no > checking whether to enable the FOX fallback... no > checking whether to enable the NETCDF fallback... yes > checking for a source tarball of NETCDF... no > configure: downloading NETCDF - this may take a while > ./configure: line 5648: /tmp/buildd/.abinit/tarballs/netcdf-4.1.1.tar.gz: No > such file or directory > configure: downloading NETCDF - this may take a while > ./configure: line 5648: /tmp/buildd/.abinit/tarballs/netcdf-4.1.1.tar.gz: No > such file or directory > configure: error: could not download NETCDF fallback tarball > Disable support for NETCDF or download the tarball manually to > /tmp/buildd/.abinit/tarballs > configure: error: ./configure failed for fallbacks > make: *** [config.status] Error 1 > dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2 > E: Failed autobuilding of package Must be fixed before an upload. > I dont know how to fix > the remaining lintian warnings I recommend to add -i to your lintian options (e.g. put "info = 1" in .lintianrc).

It does not contain useful information for the user. The file NEWS could be installed as upstream changelog via dh_installchangelogs instead of the almost empty and useless file ChangeLog - debian/copyright needs an update - it contains items, which are not longer valid and I guess, copyrights etc. need to be updated too!; about the lintian warnings: copyright-with-old-dh-make-debian-copyright: Fix the last sentence and add `Copyright ' in from of the (C). copyright-refers-to-symlink-license: The license wording is like "GPL 2 or higher" but the file hint in debian/copyright points to /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL which currently is a symlink to GPL 3 - you should explicitly use the file GPL-2 here The duplicate-files tag is a pedantic one and can be ignored IMO. IMO the package as is is not yet ready for an upload. HTH and regards, Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
