Subject: building from source an inconvenient process

Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2012 18:11:03 +0200

Package: doc-debian
Version: 4.0.2
Severity: important

Hi,

Building this package from source requires one to have a webwml
checkout in a specific hardcoded filesystem location.
Also, the source package does not really contain the sources
as these are pulled in from the checkout at build time.

Probably a good solution would be to move the code that
collects the files into a get-orig-source rules target.

Cheers,
Thijs

Yes, this is true. However, this issues is not severity important, as it only
affects package *rebuild* not package *use*.

This is something that should be fixed. Since the package should include the
sources.

This is a good idea. I will change debian/rules to do this and also change it
so it does not remove the wml files when cleaning.

Best regards

Javier
