Hi, I've recently tried using sbuild rather than pbuilder (inspired by a blog post[0]), and found that the invocation of dh_installdocs differs between the two tools. My .docs file has this line:
doc/mpls/
However this directory also contains a .gitignore file. sbuild's
invocation of dh_installdocs results in this command:
cd 'doc/mpls//..' && find 'mpls' \( -type f -or -type l \) -and ! \
-empty -print0 | LC_ALL=C sort -z | xargs -0 -I {} cp --reflink=auto \
--parents -dp {} \
/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/quagga-doc/usr/share/doc/quagga-doc
While pbuilder's invocation of dh_installdocs results in this command:
cd 'doc/mpls//..' && find 'mpls' \( -type f -or -type l \) -and ! \
-empty -and ! \( -regex .\*\\.git.\* -or -regex .\*\\.gitignore.\* \) \
-print0 | LC_ALL=C sort -z | xargs -0 -I {} cp --reflink=auto \
--parents -dp {} \
/build/quagga-1.1.0/debian/quagga-doc/usr/share/doc/quagga-doc
Note that pbuilder automatically ignores VCS files.
The consequence of this difference is that for sbuild to produce a
package without the .gitignore I need this extra override:
dh_installdocs --exclude=.gitignore
So my question is: why is there a difference, and which is "correct"?
And does this mean that if I use pbuilder, upload a package, and it is
later built from source on a buildd, it can have have lint I can't
reproduce locally?
The package versions used are git-buildpackage_0.6.22,
sbuild_0.72.0-2~bpo8+2, pbuilder_0.226.1~bpo8+1.
