Package: debhelper Version: 7.4.3 Severity: wishlist For debugging problems that only show up on a particular architecture's buildd, it would be handy for dh_auto_configure to dump config.log to its stdout if configure returned a nonzero exit status.
Case in point: https://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=monotone;ver=0.45-2;arch=hppa;stamp=1258285149 is a failure that is undebuggable as is, but the problem would be obvious if config.log were dumped into this logfile. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages debhelper depends on: ii binutils 2.20-4 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii dpkg-dev 1.15.4.1 Debian package development tools ii file 5.03-3 Determines file type using "magic" ii html2text 1.3.2a-14 advanced HTML to text converter ii man-db 2.5.6-4 on-line manual pager ii perl 5.10.1-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-base 5.10.1-7 minimal Perl system ii po-debconf 1.0.16 tool for managing templates file t debhelper recommends no packages.
