Hi Jorg & Gianfranco ,
Thanks very much for your help. Jorg, Thanks for your link to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto. I actually tried to build the source package by following http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/fixing-a-bug.html : 4.6. Testing the fix To build a test package with your changes, run these commands: $ bzr builddeb -- -S -us -uc $ pbuilder-dist <release> build ../<package>_<version>.dsc This will create a source package from the branch contents (-us -uc will just omit the step to sign the source package) and pbuilder-dist will build the package from source for whatever release you choose. I did : pbuilder-dist trusty build ../netkit-rwall_0.17-8ubuntu2.dsc rather than (as PbuilderHowto says): Rebuilding a package ... Now build the package using your chroot cleanroom you created with the command: sudo pbuilder build *.dsc Once the packages are successfully built, the binary and source packages will be stored in /var/cache/pbuilder/result/ The packages were built under ~/pbuilder/trusty_result rather than /var/cache/pbuilder/result. I didn't know at the time that there should have been source packages created and a *source.changes file created. (I didn't know what a source package should look like...) Apparently the source package was not created as it is not there now. Are these 2 methods just different way of doing the same thing? Any idea why a source package was not created? Gianfranco: I tried: cgood@goodi7:/home/cgood/netkit-rwall/netkit-rwall.dev $ dpkg-buildpackage -S -sa dpkg-buildpackage: export CFLAGS from dpkg-buildflags (origin: vendor): -g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Wformat-security dpkg-buildpackage: export CPPFLAGS from dpkg-buildflags (origin: vendor): -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 dpkg-buildpackage: export CXXFLAGS from dpkg-buildflags (origin: vendor): -g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Wformat-security dpkg-buildpackage: export FFLAGS from dpkg-buildflags (origin: vendor): -g -O2 dpkg-buildpackage: export LDFLAGS from dpkg-buildflags (origin: vendor): -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,-z,relro dpkg-buildpackage: source package netkit-rwall dpkg-buildpackage: source version 0.17-8ubuntu2 dpkg-buildpackage: source changed by Chris Good <chris.g...@ozemail.com.au> dpkg-source --before-build netkit-rwall.dev fakeroot debian/rules clean dh_testdir dh_testroot [ ! -f MCONFIG ] || /usr/bin/make distclean dh_clean find: `./trusty/root': Permission denied find: `./trusty/home/cgood/.gnupg': Permission denied find: `./trusty/home/cgood/.ssh': Permission denied find: `./trusty/var/spool/cron/crontabs': Permission denied find: `./trusty/var/spool/rsyslog': Permission denied find: `./trusty/var/cache/ldconfig': Permission denied rm: cannot remove `./trusty/etc/apt/trusted.gpg~': Permission denied dh_clean: find . \( \( -type f -a \ \( -name '#*#' -o -name '.*~' -o -name '*~' -o -name DEADJOE \ -o -name '*.orig' -o -name '*.rej' -o -name '*.bak' \ -o -name '.*.orig' -o -name .*.rej -o -name '.SUMS' \ -o -name TAGS -o \( -path '*/.deps/*' -a -name '*.P' \) \ \) -exec rm -f {} \; \) -o \ \( -type d -a -name autom4te.cache -prune -exec rm -rf {} \; \) \) returned exit code 1 make: *** [clean] Error 2 dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules clean gave error exit status 2 Should I have tried to install and build the source package in my chroot trusty environment? (I'm working in precise). I don't understand how the chroot is supposed to work. I have seen https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot Looking at http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/chroots.html 10.1. Creating a Chroot: You can then work inside the chroot: $ sudo chroot trusty After this, of course I am root, and the source package I had set up previously, doesn't exist in the chroot. Should I hardlink the source directory structure into the chroot? Should I be working as myself (user cgood) instead of root? If so, do I 'su - cgood' before starting? Will the chroot still be in effect if I do? Sorry for all these newbie questions.
