It feels like the next step is to ask make upstream whether they think
this is a bug that can be fixed.  If so, great, and we can move forward
with that approach.  If not, we can pursue the alternatives.  But it seems
like it would be worthwhile to ask.

Given that you can achieve the same goal in a much more straightforward
and traditional manner (I think) with:

precompiled-binary-we-cannot-regenerate-with-gcc.o:

it feels like an unintentional side effect of an internal implementation
to me.

It builds these binary packages:

The package appears to be lintian clean.

Apologies for the delay, uploaded, should end up in NEW soon.

Please contact this list for future versions and I will upload if I am able.

Thank you very much!


1. Can you please enlighten me how the amd64 package was built (maybe you 
built it?)


I got a message from  titled "Processing of 
lbzip2_0.13-1_amd64.changes", and another from 
 titled "lbzip2_0.13-1_amd64.changes is 
NEW".


Is it usual that amd64 packages get processed faster than i386 ones?

I apologize for asking such a newbie question, even though I've read (most 
of)


http://people.debian.org/~mpalmer/debian-mentors_FAQ.html
http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/FTPMaster


2. I switched off the package's "seeking a sponsor" flag on 
mentors.debian.net. However, I also registered myself / lbzip2 on 
sponsors.debian.net:


http://sponsors.debian.net/viewpkg.php?id=465

and I cannot change the Sponsor field (I think rightfully so). 
Furthermore, my personal details still say "I need sponsoring", and the 
only alternative is "I am a sponsor". What should I do to these?



Thanks,
lacos

I built it in a clean chroot using cowbuilder (there is also sbuild,
pdbuilder, lvmbuilder, qemubuilder).

> Is it usual that amd64 packages get processed faster than i386 ones?

Thats only because I built and uploaded it on an amd64 machine. The
i386 one will show up after the package is accepted into Debian by the
ftpmasters, the i386 buildd (autobuilder daemon) builds it and the
buildd maintainer uploads it.

Try reading the developers-reference too:

http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/

That shouldn't be needed, mentors will detect when the package has
been accepted and remove it. I guess the next version of the site code
(debexpo) should also look at the NEW queue and do the right thing.

I don't think sponsors.debian.net get used much these days. I
certainly haven't looked at it in years. My advice would be to ignore
it.

Note that there is also the possibility of

#/usr/bin/make -f
Makefile:
@#
%: Makefile
dh $@

which is another way to make things phony. (and avoids dh being called
for the "Makefile" target as it is when naming that target FORCE as
make's info file suggest).

But I definitly think a debian/rules file should list all the required
and optional rules it supports via a .PHONY: line.

Even better the % rule should already list which targets it actually
supports as

#include "/usr/share/debhelper/bla"
$(SUPPORTED_RULES): %:
dh $@
.PHONY: $(SUPPORTED_RULES)

everything else is just very fragile...

Re: lintian complaining about modified files

I use the dpatch system to make the requested changes in the sources

Now lintian complains that "config.guess and 1 more" are changed, but

What is the correct way to get this problem solved?


You can simply 
gunzip /usr/share/doc/dpatch/examples/dpatch/01_config.dpatch.gz and put it 
in debian/patches (and list it in 00list) and it will take care of things.




I did that, but config.guess and config.sub are still changed during the 
build process. What could go wrong? Which files doI need to have a close 
look at?


TIA and best regards

Remove them in the clean target in debian/rules. The .diff.gz cannot represent
file deletions.

Kindly,
David
