for verifications: checking the source build from a git checkout, which is where the problem was, I verified i could reproduce the issue with the -updates source versions:
$ ls -ld .git drwxrwxr-x 7 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Apr 7 19:06 .git $ dpkg-parsechangelog -S Version 1:4.2-3ubuntu6.14 $ dpkg-buildpackage ... after the 'configure' step has finished, while the build is running (or after it completes), check the build dir for the setting of GIT_UPDATE $ grep -r GIT_UPDATE b b/s390xfw/config-host.mak:GIT_UPDATE=yes b/qemu-xen/config-host.mak:GIT_UPDATE=yes b/qemu-microvm/config-host.mak:GIT_UPDATE=yes b/qemu/config-host.mak:GIT_UPDATE=yes b/user-static/config-host.mak:GIT_UPDATE=yes since we *do not* want the build to try to automatically update the git submodules, this setting is wrong. $ ls -ld .git drwxrwxr-x 7 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Apr 7 19:33 .git $ dpkg-parsechangelog -S Version 1:4.2-3ubuntu6.15 $ dpkg-buildpackage ... for the -proposed version, GIT_UPDATES has been replaced with GIT_SUBMODULES_ACTION, which should be set to 'ignore' $ grep -r GIT_UPDATE b $ grep -r GIT_SUBMODULES_ACTION b b/s390xfw/config-host.mak:GIT_SUBMODULES_ACTION=ignore b/qemu-xen/config-host.mak:GIT_SUBMODULES_ACTION=ignore b/qemu-microvm/config-host.mak:GIT_SUBMODULES_ACTION=ignore b/qemu/config-host.mak:GIT_SUBMODULES_ACTION=ignore b/user-static/config-host.mak:GIT_SUBMODULES_ACTION=ignore for the source build from a non-git checkout, this has not been a problem, so verification only requires checking there are no regressions: $ dpkg-source -x qemu_4.2-3ubuntu6.14.dsc ... $ cd qemu-4.2/ $ ls -ld .git ls: cannot access '.git': No such file or directory $ dpkg-parsechangelog -S Version 1:4.2-3ubuntu6.14 $ dpkg-buildpackage ... $ grep -r GIT_UPDATE b b/s390xfw/config-host.mak:GIT_UPDATE=no b/qemu-xen/config-host.mak:GIT_UPDATE=no b/qemu-microvm/config-host.mak:GIT_UPDATE=no b/qemu/config-host.mak:GIT_UPDATE=no b/user-static/config-host.mak:GIT_UPDATE=no $ grep -r GIT_SUBMODULES_ACTION b $ $ dpkg-source -x qemu_4.2-3ubuntu6.15.dsc ... $ cd qemu-4.2/ $ ls -ld .git ls: cannot access '.git': No such file or directory $ dpkg-parsechangelog -S Version 1:4.2-3ubuntu6.15 $ dpkg-buildpackage ... $ grep -r GIT_UPDATE b $ grep -r GIT_SUBMODULES_ACTION b b/s390xfw/config-host.mak:GIT_SUBMODULES_ACTION=ignore b/qemu-xen/config-host.mak:GIT_SUBMODULES_ACTION=ignore b/qemu-microvm/config-host.mak:GIT_SUBMODULES_ACTION=ignore b/qemu/config-host.mak:GIT_SUBMODULES_ACTION=ignore b/user-static/config-host.mak:GIT_SUBMODULES_ACTION=ignore additionally, the build is successful with the version from -proposed for both a non-git source and git source. ** Tags removed: verification-needed-focal ** Tags added: verification-done-focal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1887535 Title: build operates differently if source is a git repo To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1887535/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
