Hi, I got sources for aster 9.2.0-3 from http://lyre.mit.edu/~powell/aster/
While trying to build a package using pbuilder and sid-chroot environment I got the following: ... dpkg-checkbuilddeps: warning: can't parse dependency \ libscotch-dev dpkg-checkbuilddeps: error: error occurred while parsing Build-Depends/Build-Depends-Indep) dpkg-buildpackage: warning: Build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting. dpkg-buildpackage: warning: (Use -d flag to override.) pbuilder: Failed autobuilding of package ... So, I suspected that the problem is in the dependencies description. Went to "fix" it by removing trailing "\" but could not generate source package getting the following error on debuild -S -sa command: ... dh_clean /usr/bin/make clean make[1]: Entering directory `/home/alexei/Desktop/aster/aster-9.2.0' File not found : /home/alexei/Desktop/aster/aster-9.2.0/bin/as_run ... IIRC, as_run is in the astk (python-astk-server) package, so shall aster build-depends on it? I tried this on Ubuntu 9.04 if it might matter. And it is my first experience in building packages. --- Further on, continuing topic of Aster/Salome packaging, if I may. Currently, newer versions of Code Aster (10.0.3) and Salome platform (5.1.2, Qt4 remake) are available. Having look at debianization as it is done now, I understand that it is a hell of a job to package this pieces of software, especially when there is no (as I understood from discussion here and elsewhere) any link with upstream... But hence there is some expertise around, may people currently involved in packaging make some overview on what would be good to do with respect to Aster/Salome build/deployment tools to simplify actual packaging, and hence faster deployment of newer versions of the software in the future? May be there is something like that already available? Thanks in advance, Alexey Balmashnov -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
