OK I understand, but I am generally building for the next distro release not the current stable that I am using now, so building in the local environment is not of much value. I test builds on my local build system which mimics that used by our distro build system, which pulls the base system and BuildRequires from the dev repo and builds in a chroot with only those files/libs etc. available. I then install the built package in a running dev system to test. > > For my needs, there is a specific naming conversion the tarball must > meet in order to build it with pbuilder ( local chroot ) as well as the > build servers ( Launchpad ).

Yes, I maintain about 88 packages and tend to make my own scripts where upstream tarballs are not available or releases lag way behind git or the sources are a bit unusual, like here. Or simply just to aid my failing memory :) > > I m not sure about the install directory issue /usr or /usr/local, I've > not ran into that problems before and don't see that problem Locally or > on Launchpad. Maybe that's specific to your Distro's FSH. Maybe, dunno - only seen it in the last few months. Anyway - with everyone's excellent help here I have now pushed the package to the repos and it's working fine :) Cheers, Barry G4MKT > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
