Package: icu
Version: 3.6-7
Severity: normal
I wanted to apply a local patch to icu and put it into debian/patches.
But then I had to see that it is only partly applied (see any buildd
log for verify):
- first the source in extracted into
build-tree/icu/source
- then debian/rules target pre-build:: is executed
which copies over (look for "cp -a" in the logs) everything to
build-tree/icu/source-build
- then the patches are applied
- and finally for a second build the now patched
build-tree/icu/source is copied over to build-tree/icu/source-build
again.
So the first build is done without the patches, the second with the
patches applied. If that is intentional, it should be expressed more
clearly.
I also see that icu-3.8 doesn't need any patches for the official
package, but nevertheless this should be changed there, too, as
cdbs's simple-patchsys.mk is still included and one might (re-)start
using it (re-)introducing this ugliness again.
Another ugliness is that ./configure is run in build-tree/icu/source,
but later in build-tree/icu/source-build again, and for the second
build it's run the third time, again in build-tree/icu/source-build.
So probably it's unnecessary to run it in build-tree/icu/source.
For the 32/64 archs it's even worse: ./configure is run twice in a row
for build-tree/icu/source-build{,32}, resulting in 8 runs entirely,
