Package: pygtk Version: 2.24.0-5.1 Severity: normal User: pkg-gnome-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: g-home
pygtk sets G_HOME=/ in d/rules to avoid FTBFS under a non-standard build arrangement: > 14:02 < DktrKranz> pochu: install b-d as always, plus fakeroot > 14:02 < DktrKranz> then, "su bin", and debuild — https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=570313 G_HOME was a Debian-specific workaround for old versions of GLib not respecting HOME. Since GLib 2.36, GLib functions that look for the home directory *do* respect HOME. GLib >= 2.36 is available in oldstable, so I'd like to remove the G_HOME hack now. Please investigate whether this is still needed, and if it is, set HOME=/ instead. I'm not going to let this block removal of the G_HOME patch unless it causes FTBFS in sbuild, because pygtk is RC-buggy anyway (it is unmaintained upstream since 2011 and should no longer be in Debian). Thanks, smcv
