One thing which hasn't been mentioned so far, always ensure that your test suite only runs if DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nocheck" is *not* set. ifeq (,$(filter nocheck,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS))) # Code to run the package test suite. endif It's recommended in Policy but if a package has a test suite, there is no good reason not to allow for nocheck. -- Neil Williams = http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ pgplijkkRuX9x.pgp Description: PGP signature
question about build a package
Hi all! This is my first post :-) I try to patch postfix and I want be sure that my procedure is correct :-) apt-get source postfix and I see: f 215552 Jun 3 13:35 postfix_2.7.1-1+squeeze1.diff.gz f 1754 Jun 3 13:35 postfix_2.7.1-1+squeeze1.dsc d 4096 Jun 3 13:35 postfix-2.7.1 f 3418747 Jun 3 13:35 postfix_2.7.1.orig.tar.gz I go to postfix-2.7.1 dir and I patch: patch -p1 < patch.x.y.z everything ok to rebuild I do: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us and I've a new postfix package A question: the dir of postfix (created by system after apt-get source postfix), is already patched with debian patches? or I need compile debian patches to that dir?

Note that dh_auto_test (which seems to be the canonical way to call
tests during build) actually already checks that:
(...)
if (defined $ENV{DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS} && $ENV{DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS} =~
/nocheck/) {
exit 0;
}

Unfortunately no: the Postfix source package looks like it's in 1.0 format, so there aren't any quilt patches. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle chris.kna...@coredump.us GPG Key: 4096R/0x1E759A726A9FDD74 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Likewise after installing your package you might want to put the package on 'hold' so that a newer package in the Debian archive won't install over your version. Another way to deal with this problem is to make your own personal Debian repository (I suggest looking at the 'reprepro' package for this), which gives you an opportunity to set a 'pin priority' for the packages in your personal repsitory, giving them priority. (See the apt-preferences(5) man page for details on this.) > A question: the dir of postfix (created by system after apt-get source > postfix), is already patched with debian patches? Yes in this case (it isn't _always_ the case unfortunately, but the exceptions are rare). 'apt-get source postfix' patches the source with the package's .diff.gz (below I'm showing the the version in Debian Sid, rather than Squeeze): $ apt-get source postfix Reading package lists...
