dpkg auto-build broken
 

Hello Mika,

it looks like the auto-build of dpkg by jenkins is broken since quite some
time. The problem is in the way that you create the source package.

Somehow we must regenerate the build files with "autoreconf -f -i" and
this requires "autoconf, automake, gettext, flex" to be installed.

Cheers,

"autoconf, automake, gettext, flex" were all already installed and
available. Looks like the "./debian/rules configure" wasn't enough,
I've added the "autoreconf -f -i" and it seems to basically build
again (it fails with "Unknown '<' or '>' sequence. " at man stage
but AFAICT this is unrelated).

Is the "./debian/rules configure" needed at all?

Well, right, the point of "debian/rules configure" was to create the build
files. It does nothing more than "autoreconf -v -i" but the call was
assuming that the tree would be clean and it looks like it's not. I.e.
the generated files are kept from one build to to the next.

If the configure files exists, then debian/rules configure is a no-op
and any change to automake files is then not taken into account.

So either we rely on "git clean -fx" + "debian/rules configure" or
we force the regeneration with "autoreconf -f -i".

dpkg auto-rebuild ?? I don't see dpkg(1) documenting that. apt(1) maybe ? I have sarge and
squeeze I don't see that and would like to hear about a reference to look it up.


# from file: depend-order-install-list-source
for pkg in `cat /tmp/tmp.$$` ; do apt-get source build-dep $opt $pkg
<snip>
dpkg-source -x $x ||

I made (alpha release) doil-source that hopes to build LISTS of source packages in correct
compileation order (assuming all in list do not require any editing).


Someday may a luser can "build gnome-su" or some junk and it would automatically build everything
necessary, ground up if they wish :)


(ps if you have dev installed you can build more easily out of order: but only w/in that release -
which is already done)

Read. That's “dpkg auto-build”.

If you would have read the first mail, you would know it's related to
dpkg auto-building within jenkins, as set up by mika.

Please stop jumping on random topics with far-far-remotely-related
topics. It makes people waste time, which one usually doesn't like.

Mraw,
KiBi.

oops sorry. need to remember my manners and not jump in ! I wasn't thinking of dpkg itself not
building.


ha! your thinking is as firm as mine? list building useless ? :)
