Package: apt-build Version: 0.12.22 Severity: important -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
Last night I built and installed Firefox 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.6-3 with apt-build, and surprisingly, after the problems I've had with apt-build in the past, it worked perfectly. But wouldn't you know it, today Debian updates Firefox in unstable to 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.6-4. (Maybe it's not worth updating, but the changelog isn't available at the moment.) So I tried to build and install the new one, but it didn't work. apt-build did download the new Debian diffs, and did avoid redownloading the entire Firefox source package that it already has extracted, but it did not even try to apply the new 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.6-4 diffs. So I had to $(apt-build clean-build), which wipes out all of the downloaded sources. That, of course, defeats the advantage of not redownloading the already-unpacked sources. Hopefully a simple bug to fix. - -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (650, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-2-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages apt-build depends on: ii apt 0.6.45 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii apt-utils 0.6.45 APT utility programs ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.3 Debian configuration management sy ii devscripts 2.9.20 Scripts to make the life of a Debi ii dpkg-dev 1.13.21 package building tools for Debian ii g++ 4:4.1.1-5 The GNU C++ compiler ii gcc 4:4.1.1-5 The GNU C compiler ii libappconfig-perl 1.56-2 Perl module for configuration file ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.20 Perl interface to libapt-pkg ii perl 5.8.8-6.1 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction Versions of packages apt-build recommends: ii build-essential 11.2 informational list of build-essent ii fakeroot 1.5.10 Gives a fake root environment - -- debconf information: apt-build/arch_alpha: ev4 apt-build/arch_arm: armv2 * apt-build/olevel: Strong * apt-build/build_dir: /var/cache/apt-build/build apt-build/arch_sparc: sparc * apt-build/arch_amd: athlon-xp * apt-build/options: apt-build/arch_intel: pentium * apt-build/make_options: * apt-build/repository_dir: /var/cache/apt-build/repository apt-build/arch_amd64: x86-64 * apt-build/add_to_sourceslist: true -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFASvE5+GdyTDsrJsRApjlAJ45DW/kBKWkQdSN39KLgE5C3PjL7QCfZEVP 2+tFs5HM+dZana5tu6wygLo= =T+kh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
