'No such file or directory' while building coreutils from source package
Dear all, I'm trying to build coreutils according to the manual at https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/build.en.html. Unfortunately this fails with the error message noted below. I hope this is the right mailing list, please excuse me if it is the wrong one. There are quite a few. The machine is running Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) on x86_64. # What I did: 1. `apt-get install build-essential` 2. `apt-get install gettext debhelper autotools-dev texinfo groff libattr1-dev libacl1-dev libselinux1-dev gperf bison` as these are the packages which are listed in the `Build-Depends` section of `coreutils_8.30-3.debian.tar.xz/debian/control`. 3. Created following directory structure: ``` ~/dir/coreutils_8.30.orig.tar.xz ~/dir/debian-coreutils/ ``` 4. `cd ~/dir/debian-coreutils/` 5. `dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc` Now it fails with ``` make[1]: Entering directory '/home/username/dir/debian-coreutils' dh_install -a # some things go in root rather than usr for f in cat chgrp chmod chown cp date dd df dir echo false ln ls mkdir mknod mv pwd readlink rm rmdir vdir sleep stty sync touch true uname mktemp; do \ mv debian/coreutils/usr/bin/$f debian/coreutils/bin/$f; \ done mv: cannot stat 'debian/coreutils/usr/bin/cat': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat 'debian/coreutils/usr/bin/chgrp': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat 'debian/coreutils/usr/bin/chmod': No such file or directory ``` My final goal is to get some experience with debugging. I want to build a debian package with little dependencies including a dbgsym package. Then I want to introduce a bug in the source code, and use the gdbsym package to trace the bug in gdb. Thank you and kind regards, Manuel

Looks like you didn't extract the orig tarball, but even if that's just omitted from your email, extracting parts of the source package manually is not the supported way to extract it. -- WBR, wRAR signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I did extract the orig tarball and extracted it completely, i. e. not only parts of it. Also, I checked that the md5sum is equal to the one at https://packages.debian.org/source/buster/coreutils. ``` manuel@manuel-hp:~/vps/testground_debpackage$ md5sum origs/coreutils_8.30-3.debian.tar.xz f68506bc07552eee03c7652cb38431e8 origs/coreutils_8.30-3.debian.tar.xz manuel@manuel-hp:~/vps/testground_debpackage$ sudo rm -rf debian-coreutils/* && tar xf origs/coreutils_8.30-3.debian.tar.xz -C debian-coreutils ``` Kind regards, Manuel

Oh, now I got you. I thought you meant `coreutils_8.30-3.debian.tar.xz `
differs w.r.t. the one at the package repository.
No, I didn't extract the orig tarball it at all. At first I didn't even have it
on disk, but then `dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc` failed with
```
make[1]: Leaving directory
'/home/manuel/vps/testground_debpackage/debian-coreutils'
dh_clean
dpkg-source -b .
dpkg-source: error: can't build with source format '3.0 (quilt)': no upstream
tarball found at ../coreutils_8.30.orig.tar.{bz2,gz,lzma,xz}
dpkg-buildpackage: error: dpkg-source -b . subprocess returned exit status 255
```
, so that's why I put `../coreutils_8.30.orig.tar.{bz2,gz,lzma,xz}`into
existance by copying the orig tarball there.
```
manuel@manuel-hp:~/vps/testground_debpackage$ md5sum coreutils_8.30.orig.tar.xz
ab06d68949758971fe744db66b572816 coreutils_8.30.orig.tar.xz
```
Do I need to extract it?
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/build.en.html doesn't mention
anything like that. Also, it doesn't seem to change the outcome.
Thanks for your assistance!
Regards, Manuel

Also, it doesn't seem to change the outcome. The first part of the guide (Chapter 2. First steps) [0] explains a little better what different parts constitute a source package, and therefore a source directory. Another good resource is the Debian handbook; specifically it's chapter 5.3 "Structure of a Source Package" [1]. In short, you need to: - extract the upstream tarball - extract the Debian changes on top of the directory containing your upstream extracted source code (usually a .debian.tar.*). - apply the patches All this is doable by hand, but really, you should rely on Debian's tools: $ apt-get source coreutils … will download and extract the coreutils source package from the Debian repositories. And by extract, I mean that it will do nothing more than the 3 steps above.

Bug#959992: ITP: gitid -- A simple, minimal git identity management tool
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Luiserebii * Package name: gitid Version : 0.3.1 Upstream Author : Luiserebii * URL : https://github.com/Luiserebii/gitid * License : GPL Programming Lang: C Description : A simple, minimal git identity management tool gitid is a command line tool allowing for easy shifting between git identities (username, email, and signing key (e.g GPG)). It aims to make working with different git configurations easy and shifting between identities painless. Above all, the tool aims to reduce any possibility for user error. It is intended for people who need to manage multiple username/email/signing key configurations, and want to minimize the difficulties and risk of managing multiple repositories with multiple configurations. A short, readable guide may be found here: https://luiserebii.io/2020/05/introduction-to-gitid/ The alternative, to maintain a list of identities somewhere and to manually paste them into a new repo's .gitconfig allows for too much error, and it is not simple to manage. This package intends to make this program useful for those who encounter this issue, and provide a unified interface to handle this. I personally use this package daily, and am therefore invested in maintaining it and making it useful for others. I plan to maintain this package by following the typical Debian maintainment procedures, fixing bugs as reported. I also intend to be active in responding to new issues raised on the project's GitHub repository. I do need a sponsor for this package, and would be grateful to receive any assistance. I plan to spend time making the package, before making a request-for-sponsorship. Thank you!
