Package: quilt
Version: 0.44-2
Severity: grave
Your last upload of quilt was a master piece of social
irresponsibility! Not only did it break unrelated software and cause
failure to build, but it causes FTBFS in packages maintained by one of
my NM applicants *and* someone you call a friend. How, Martin, can
you justify such rude behaviour and think that Vincent Danjean will
not a) cancel his friendship with you and b) stab you from behind?
Surely, as the maintainer of a library or another software which
packages use to build, it is your social responsibility to test *every
single* package depending on quilt to see if they still build with the
new version. Where would be end up if other people acted like you?
It is shameful to have "maintainers" ("oh, l33t, new uptream, let's
upload without any testing because we need to be on the cutting edge")
like you in Debian. If you don't fix this bug within 24 seconds I
will start a motion to have you removed from the project. I think
they've saved some space for you in Gentoo though. Also, I demand
compensation payment from you because moving to quilt has been on my
TODO list, but now I need to talk to a psychologist because you
destroyed these plans. My life has no purpose anymore!
Seriously, I'm disappointed.
Okay, let's get real here. Martin, please look at paje.app:
http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?arch=&pkg=paje.app You'll see that
it built fine on most arches, but then failed on mipsel - where it was
built a few days later, and coincientally just after quilt entered the
archive.
One of my slaves^Wfriends did some research and says:
12:13 < dato> - Add a missing ``exit 1'' to quilt/fold.in when no patches
are applied.
12:15 < dato> tbm: [report the bug] against quilt itself, please, file
/usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/patchsys-quilt.mk
12:18 < dato> (then a paje.app retry should suffice)
12:20 < dato> but this is very bad, since we now have the same exit
status for success (no patches to apply) and failure (some patches failed
to apply) :/
12:26 < dato> dunno why upstream did this change, perhaps nobody else is
trying to detect success or failure automatically, other than Debian. :-P
Can you please look at this? Thanks a lot.
[For those playing at home along, my "insulting" message above is just
an insider joke between Martin and me...]
