tag 529281 - moreinfo wontfix retitle 529281 sbuild: Accept .changes on the command-line and auto-detect distribution in that case severity thanks
I would like to resurrect this bug. I understand the .dsc doesn't have the distribution, however a .changes file has it. When I generate the source package, I do debuild -S and this generates me a .changes files with the correct distribution. So please improve sbuild to accept a .changes listing a source package and don't require the distribution in that case, instead extract it from the .changes file. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (150, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages sbuild depends on: ii adduser 3.112+nmu2 add and remove users and groups ii libc6 2.11.2-11 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.6.0-2 GCC support library ii libsbuild-perl 0.62.2-1 Tool for building Debian binary pa ii libstdc++6 4.6.0-2 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii perl 5.10.1-19 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-modules 5.10.1-19 Core Perl modules Versions of packages sbuild recommends: ii debootstrap 1.0.29 Bootstrap a basic Debian system ii fakeroot 1.15.1-1 tool for simulating superuser priv Versions of packages sbuild suggests: ii deborphan 1.7.28.5 program that can find unused packa ii wget 1.12-3 retrieves files from the web -- no debconf information -- Raphaël Hertzog ◈ Debian Developer Follow my Debian News ▶ http://RaphaelHertzog.com (English) ▶ http://RaphaelHertzog.fr (Français) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
