Subject: witty: FTBFS when built with dpkg-buildpackage -A (no binary artifacts)

Date: Tue, 24 Nov 2015 11:18:17 +0000

Package: src:witty
Version: 3.3.4+dfsg-6
User: sanvila@debian.org
Usertags: binary-indep
Severity: important

Dear maintainer:

I tried to build this package with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
(i.e. only architecture-independent packages), and it failed:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
 fakeroot debian/rules binary-indep
dh_testdir
dh_testroot
dh_clean -k 
dh_clean: dh_clean -k is deprecated; use dh_prep instead
dh_installdirs
# Commands to install the package into debian/tmp

[ ... snipped ... ]

patch -p1 -d debian/tmp/usr/lib/Wt < debian/patches/07_tests_cmake_dependencies.dpatch
patching file test/CMakeLists.txt
rm /<<BUILDDIR>>/witty-3.3.4+dfsg/debian/tmp/usr/lib/Wt/examples/wtwithqt/LICENSE
rm /<<BUILDDIR>>/witty-3.3.4+dfsg/debian/tmp/usr/lib/Wt/examples/wtwithqt/lib/LICENSE
 dpkg-genchanges -A >../witty_3.3.4+dfsg-6_all.changes
dpkg-genchanges: error: binary build with no binary artifacts found; cannot distribute
dpkg-buildpackage: error: dpkg-genchanges gave error exit status 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This usually happens because there is a binary-indep target in debian/rules
which is either empty or does not do anything useful.

If all the arch-independent packages are dummy transitional packages released with jessie,
the easy fix is to drop them now. If not, debian/rules should be modified so that the
binary-indep target generates the architecture independent packages (and only those).

After checking that both "dpkg-buildpackage -A" and "dpkg-buildpackage -B" work
properly, this package will be suitable to be uploaded in source-only form if you wish
(I recommend that you try it).

Thanks.

Well, the easy fix would be as follows:

* Copy everything in binary-arch.
* Paste it in binary-indep.
(I usually omit dh_testdir and dh_testroot to make debian/rules
smaller because they do not do anything which is not already done by
dpkg-buildpackage).
* Add -i to every dh_* call in binary-indep.
* Add -a to every dh_* call in binary-arch.

This usually works, and if it does not, it should be easy to fix.

Thanks.

Greetings.

I have the ok from the Release Managers to consider this issue as RC
for stretch. I'm going to wait at least one week before raising
this to "serious".

If you need help to fix this bug, please tag it as "help".

Thanks.

Tags: patch

The changes Santiago Vila suggested do fix the FTBFS. However, it will
build all arch-dependent files (except the packages) anyway. Fixing that
would need further diving into the build system.

The attached patch makes the suggested changes. It applies against
3.3.5+dfsg-1 and 3.3.4+dfsg-6.
