Package: src:fftw3 Version: 3.3.4-2 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: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [...] debian/rules build-indep (cd doc ; /usr/bin/make -j1 -k clean) make[1]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/doc' make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'clean'. make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/doc' debian/rules:104: recipe for target 'build-indep' failed make: [build-indep] Error 2 (ignored) rm -f doc/*.info* doc/rfftwnd.png doc/html/* cd doc/FAQ && /usr/bin/make -j1 fftw-faq.html fftw-faq.ascii make[1]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/doc/FAQ' make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'fftw-faq.html'. make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'fftw-faq.ascii'. make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/doc/FAQ' cd doc && /usr/bin/make -j1 && /usr/bin/make -j1 html make[1]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/doc' make[1]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/doc' debian/rules:104: recipe for target 'build-indep' failed make: *** [build-indep] Error 2 dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build-indep gave error exit status 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry not to have a fix, as I am reporting many bugs similar to this one. The common hints are: * If the only architecture-independent packages are dummy transitional ones and they were released with jessie, the easy fix is to drop them now. * When using "dh", it is allowed to use (independently) optional targets override_dh_foo-arch and override_dh_foo-indep (for several values of "foo"). Once that both "dpkg-buildpackage -A" and "dpkg-buildpackage -B" work properly, the package would be suitable to be uploaded in source-only form if you wish. Thanks.
