Package: eclipse Version: 3.1.2-1 Severity: serious Justification: no longer builds from source Tags: patch
Hello, I am eagerly awaiting eclipse 3.1.2, and even though I have i386 machines to my disposal, I noticed on the buildd.debian.org report page http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?arch=&pkg=eclipse that it FTBFS on several other architectures because it can't find bzip2. Probably there are also lots of other "features", but until it gets compiled on different architectures, we can't see them. here is the part of the buildd report: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mkdir -p "/build/buildd/eclipse-3.1.2/source-tree" (cd "/build/buildd/eclipse-3.1.2/source-tree" && tar xfj ../"upstream/eclipse-sourceBuild-srcIncluded-3.1.2.tar.bz2" > /dev/null) tar: bzip2: Cannot exec: No such file or directory tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors make: *** [uncompress-stamp] Error 2 ****************************************************************************** Build finished at 20060318-1347 FAILED [dpkg-buildpackage died] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- it fails because tar xfj invokes bzip2 and bzip2 is not in the build-depends. Maybe upstream changed from using gzip to using bzip2 for their archive. This looks like it is the cause of failure for the following builds: alpha and powerpc on 2006-03-18 amd64 on 2006-03-28 ia64 on 2006-04-26 sparc on 2006-04-27 good luck, Frits Daalmans PS: please tell me how I can turn the sentence "bzip2 is not in the build-depends" into a valid patch for the debian/control file? I'm not a debian developer.
