Package: cdbs
Version: 0.4.77
Severity: normal
per Jonas request, filing a fresh bug report... two packages of mine FTBFS
using recent cdbs version while they were building just fine using previous
versions.
the reason actually is following code:
/usr/share/cdbs/1/class/python-distutils.mk-$(patsubst
%,install/%,$(cdbs_python_indep_packages)) :: install/%: python-install-py
/usr/share/cdbs/1/class/python-distutils.mk- cd $(DEB_SRCDIR) &&
python$(cdbs_python_nondefault_version) $(DEB_PYTHON_SETUP_CMD) install
--root=$(cdbs_python_destdir) \
/usr/share/cdbs/1/class/python-distutils.mk:
--install-purelib=/usr/lib/python$(cdbs_python_build_versions)/site-packages/
$(DEB_PYTHON_INSTALL_ARGS_ALL)
and that one defined as
/usr/share/cdbs/1/class/python-vars.mk-# arch(+indep): all; indep: current if
supported, else first supported
/usr/share/cdbs/1/class/python-vars.mk:cdbs_python_build_versions = $(or $(if
$(cdbs_python_arch_packages),$(cdbs_python_supported_versions)),$(filter
$(cdbs_python_current_version),$(cdbs_python_supported_versions)),$(cdbs_python_first_supported_version))
so now cdbs_python_build_versions (despite having "s" in suffix) is supposed to
have all versions if there is any arch package as well (-lib in my case), for
building indep packages (e.g. python-mvpa), which fails with what you
can observe in original bugreports:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=577312
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=577308
so, if before it was working correctly, now it doesn't (backward
incompatibility).
Yes, someone could call my packaging "dirty" since it got a bit elaborate in an
attempt to allow arch-dependent -lib packages using cdbs. I am aware of the
fact that it is calling python setup.py install twice (for all supported
versions for arch -lib package, and once for main package for main version),
and such approach worked fine for quite a while. But I do consider that
the cdbs either needs explicitely to allow for automagic handling of -lib arch
packages or not to rely on the colliding $(cdbs_python_build_versions).
P.S. keeping severity at normal to be raised at the maintainers discretion
Cheers,
