I've just had a FTBFS bug on a new upload caused by a debian/rules bug where I was running upstream's make install twice, once without setting PREFIX. This was causing the package to be installed to $HOME as will as to ./debian/tmp. This worked while doing the packaging, because it was silently getting installed in my home directory; and it worked in cowbuilder, because it was silently getting installed in the build's home directory and then discarded; but it was failing on the build servers because the build server's $HOME is read-only. Is there a way to make cowbuilder detect writes to places that shouldn't be written to so this doesn't happen again in the future? -- ┌─── ｄｇ＠ｃｏｗｌａｒｋ．ｃｏｍ ───── http://www.cowlark.com ───── │ "There is nothing in the world so dangerous --- and I mean *nothing* │ --- as a children's story that happens to be true." --- Master Li Kao, │ _The Bridge of Birds_
