My expectation was that if adt-run first 1) builds and 2) tests, then the "builds" step would be the same as the build step performed by other tools. Since other tools automatically apply all quilt patches, thus I expected adt-run to do so as well.
Ian> What if you want to use adt-run to see whether a particular patch is still needed, for example? Then I would expect to do the same as if I wanted to build a test package to see if a particular patch is still needed. Since I expect the usual build tools to apply all patches for me, I would pop the patch but also comment it out in the series file. Or alternatively, use an option to not apply all quilt patches by default. But I'd expect that to be the exception and not the norm. Martin> Of course we should only do that for 3.0 (quilt) sources, not for other formats. Right. And it's the inconsistency that confused me. But whichever way, I just thought I'd flag what I considered to be behaviour inconsistent with the way the packaging tools work. What you decide to do about it is not up to me :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1212208 Title: quilt patches are not applied during --unbuilt-tree build To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autopkgtest/+bug/1212208/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
