Re: Bug#599446: ITP: libapache2-mod-rivet -- Server-side Tcl programming system combining ease of use and power
Hi Sven,
thanks for the suggestion. I rebuild the packages with pbuilder and they're now
on the same dir at http://people.apache.org/~mxmanghi/deb/. The debian number
has been reset to -1 and I removed the unnecessary lines from debian/control.
Building with pbuilder brought up a series of issues that hadn't been addressed
initially. I changed the also the Makefile in order to keep the html manual
pages when dh_clean runs. This avoids lengthy and complex dependencies with
respect html generation tools such as the docbook and xsltproc. They appear to
be lintian free (I didn't run lintian within pbuilder though)
A question about pbuilder. It took me a while to figure out how to
use pbuilder because it failed to detect the package dependencies. During the
the initialization of the build process package pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy
didn't install because it required debhelper (!!) which wasn't installed in the
base system. I got it into base.tgz using a hook procedure but I'm puzzled to
see a fundamental tool to building packages being left out from the default
environment. What is the rationale behind this choice?
thanks
