Package: src:noiz2sa Version: 0.51a-9 User: [email protected] 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_clean: Compatibility levels before 5 are deprecated (level 4 in use) dh_installdirs dh_installdirs: Compatibility levels before 5 are deprecated (level 4 in use) mkdir -p debian/noiz2sa/usr/games mkdir -p debian/noiz2sa/usr/share/doc mkdir -p debian/noiz2sa-data/usr/share/games/noiz2sa cp src/noiz2sa debian/noiz2sa/usr/games cp -r noiz2sa_share/* debian/noiz2sa-data/usr/share/games/noiz2sa dpkg-genchanges -A >../noiz2sa_0.51a-9_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.
