Bug#591287: vlc from experimental cannot be build with the curent unstable version (I even wonder how it can have been produced)

2010-08-20 Thread Christophe Mutricy
Hello,

Why are you highjacking a bug report about libmatroska for a bug on vlc ?!

To report a new bug use 'reportbug'

Also the subject field is not meant to contain the whole bug report.

- Message d'origine -
 Normally its a critical bug when you cannot rebuild...

It isn't mandatory to be able to build experimental package on unstable. So 
it's not a bug.
Pbuilder by example is able to pick the needed build-deps from experimental.
And for a simple dpkg-buildpackage it's your job to make sure the build-deps 
are satisfied.

True.  It is a so-called FTBFS (Failure to build from source).

The appropriate severity should be tagged no matter the branch the 
package is located in.


And to address your wondering in subject (please always include full 
message in body of emails, to ensure they get fully noticed): a package 
targeted experimental should be built against unstable + experimental 
packages, nothing else!

I'm reporting that with current availble matroska package in 
unstable+experimental, you cannot build experimental vlc and yes I did a 
build-dep but since matroska 0.8.1 is the only available version...


I hijack yes maybe because vlc should not have entered experimental 
unless libmastroaka was leaving the new queue.

Experimental isn't a consistent distribution.

Packages from experimental don't necessarily build with all the other 
packages from experimental. I think the culprit here is rather the API 
mismatch between libebml (1.0.0 already in exp.) and libmatroska 
(1.0.0 targeted at exp. currently waiting in NEW), which isn't vlc's 
fault, though.

Nothing keeps vlc from entering experimental as long as its 
build-dependencies are satisfied in unstable.

I know. But the critical FTBS should be on vlc experimental and also it 
should depend on the proper matroska version that is still in the new queue!

Do I understand you correctly that the package currently in experimental 
was built against a version of matroska not available in Debian unstable 
nor Debian experimental?  If so, that package is a BAD build!!!


Just imagine one scenario out of many: That new Matroska package gets 
rejected from NEW due to a licensing problem.  But we already shipped 
binary code containing same licensing SILENTLY in experimental.  That is 
BAD!!!


DON'T DO OFFICIAL BUILDS AGAINST NON-DEBIAN-RELEASED PACKAGES. EVER!

Try to build again with libebml from unstable and don't use the one 
from experimental, which is incompatible with current libmatroska from 
unstable.

Reread again.

It seems that Eric is suggesting to do exactly that and the package in
experimental did not use out of archive packages. If it did, then I'd
appreciate a seperate and clearly written bugreport.

Make sense now.
