Package: devscripts
Version: 2.19.5
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/debuild
Dear Maintainer,
while running gbp buildpackage on a package, the package didn't build
with enigmatic output - it said it ran "dh auto check", whcih succeeded
and that was all.
Subsequently, I discovered it was because I accidentally ran it like
this:
gbp buildpackage -- -b
where I should have done
gbp buildpackage -b
Gbp invoked debuild and debuild ran
"dpkg-buildpackage --rules-target -b" which is obviously wrong. It would
be nice if debuild could detect that -b (or anything starting with a
dash) is not a likely target and at least warn with a message, or
abort. Maybe it could be tightened to only allow known targets (binary,
clean, ...), but I'm not sure about that.
I think debuild is the right spot to place a warning in this scenario,
because it actually interprets the arguments as targets, whereas gbp
merely shoves the arguments to the next tool.
Regards
Jiri Palecek
