Hi!
I have uploaded the one you pointed out as needing some love at
mentors: https://mentors.debian.net/package/libcxx-serial/.
I have problems with the debugging info containing the local build path
and the buildinfo. Status:
As uploaded, the Build-Path stanza is not part of buildinfo. As I
understand it, this is inconsistent with the local build path in the
debug package which does exist (and is really hard to get rid of).
A plain 'dpkg-genbuildinfo --always-include-path ' does include
Build-Path in the buildinfo
Using DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS as documented in dpkg-genbuildinfo(1) generates
a warning message and does not include the Build-Path:
$ DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="+path" dpkg-genbuildinfo
dpkg-genbuildinfo: warning: invalid flag in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS: +path
dpkg-genbuildinfo: warning: invalid flag in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS: +path
$ grep Build-Path ../libcxx-serial_1.2.1-2_amd64.buildinfo
$
Perhaps you can shed some light on this? I'm sure you also can find
other things, bring it on ;)
BTW: The last review were done in private, neither you nor I want it
that way. May I suggest that you cc: the mentors ML when you have time
to deal with this (no hurry!). I will follow your lead, so to speak.
Cheers!
