I did use dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
Here's more of the log:
if test -d build -a build != source; then rm -f -r build; fi
dpkg-source -b icu
dpkg-source: warning: source directory `./icu' is not
<sourcepackage>-<upstreamversion> `icu-2.0'
dpkg-source: building icu in icu_2.0-1.tar.gz
dpkg-source: building icu in icu_2.0-1.dsc
debian/rules build
but the icu_2.0-1.dsc is not created at all.
If I go to a properly named directory (my mistake; I have a properly named
icu-2.0 and a symlink icu -> 2.0/icu-2.0 to get there, and usually work from
the symlink; somehow the scripts see the name icu, not icu-2.0 after I cd'ed
there w/ zsh) then it works:
if test -d build -a build != source; then rm -f -r build; fi
dpkg-source -b icu-2.0
dpkg-source: building icu in icu_2.0-1.tar.gz
So why is dpkg-source just issuing a warning instead of failing if it really
cannot do anything? Is it looking at $CWD instead of finding out the real
location (zsh messes up w/ $CWD).
YA
