Re: Debian built from non-Debian sources

Sid likely won't work here because both sid and testing may get ahead of the version used to build stable image. And even if sources match, packages won't because of the build environment. The backports repo looks more suitable, but again at some point you may want to see a backported testing version of utilities there, not patched stable. > And maybe (probably?) there is a case for the Stretch images where one tool wasnt uploaded yet. Seems like a bug to me too (if thats the case), but not really a reason for a flamewar nor calling out trolling. In the compilers development a failure to build itself is normally considered a critical compiler bug that blocks the release. Even though bootstrapping is not the main purpose of compiler existence. Similarly, a failure to produce an install image of debian on a system running the same version of debian sounds like a perfectly valid ground the delay the release. I guess when the next release approaches someone may want to set up nightly image builds of testing using clean testing environment and report bugs in the building process (if any) as RC. I know the debian-cd team already have weekly builds of testing, but I assume they run the patched toolchain from alioth repo. I'll see if I can arrange a self-build testing framework for x86 and amd64, but I'll definitely won't be able to cover all archs.
Bug#869114: ITP: ocaml-libtopkg -- packager for distributing OCaml software
Package: wnpp Owner: Hendrik Tews Severity: wishlist * Package name: ocaml-libtopkg Version : 0.9.0 Upstream Author : Daniel Bünzli * URL or Web page : http://erratique.ch/software/topkg * License : ISC Programming Lang: OCaml Description : packager for distributing OCaml software Topkg is a packager for distributing OCaml software. It provides an API to describe the files a package installs in a given build configuration and to specify information about the package's distribution creation and publication procedures. Topkg is needed as build dependency for new upstream versions of existing OCaml packages, for instance cmdliner. The topkg upstream sources do also contain topkg-care, a command line tool that helps with various aspects of a package's life cycle. However, topkg-care has various build dependencies, among them cmdliner. Therefore, the ocaml-libtopkg source package won't build topkg-care. If we need topkg-care in Debian, it should go into a separate source package with identical upstream tar ball. Regards, Hendrik
