** Description changed: + [Impact] + DEB_BUILD_PROFILES= can be used in Debian to specify a build profile to use with dpkg-buildpackage. We want to use it in the systemd project to build the upstream packages for the Ubuntu autopkgtest cloud CI on Github. But in the Ubuntu's fork of dpkg, DEB_BUILD_PROFILES's value is ignored and unconditionally swapped with 'noudeb'. This makes it impossible to use package-specific profiles, and it's a regression w.r.t Debian. + [Fix] + + Backport patch from Noble that fixes the issue: https://code.launchpad.net/~bluca/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+git/dpkg/+merge/461136 + and takes into account if the environment variable is set when reading the profile + + [Test] + To reproduce it, simply print the content of DEB_BUILD_PROFILES in d/rules in any package and build with DEB_BUILD_PROFILES=foo dpkg- - buildpackage. + buildpackage. Before the fix, whatever is passed via the env var is + ignored. After the fix, it will be respected. + + [Regression Potential] + + dpkg-buildpackage is used to build all packages, so in case of + unforeseen issues other packages could potentially fail to build. A unit + test exercising this change is included in the patch to minimize + potential for regressions.
