Bug#862371: RFS: budgie-desktop/10.3.1-1
Hi Gianfranco,
I'm struggling with this - any thoughts on my investigations below.
On Debian Stretch I've created a chroot for unstable and installed the
build dependencies for budgie-desktop + locales + meson
In debian/rules I've changed the two export LANG and LANGUAGE vars to
en_US.UTF-8
Then manually (in the chroot) I have run the following:
debconf-set-selections <<< 'locales locales/default_environment_locale
select en_US.UTF-8'
dpkg-reconfigure locales
update-locale LANGUAGE='en_US.UTF-8'
N.B. the debconf-set-selections is to ensure dpkg-reconfigure locales
runs without the user having to manually select en_US.UTF-8 to the two
questions asked.
That's enough to convince the dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc to work
correctly within the chroot
The question I have is how to tuck the three commands above into the
Debian package to run before the main meson callout in debian/rules ?
i.e. I'm hoping this is the answer how to get the Debian build system
to default to a UTF-8 locale.
I added the three commands within override_dh_auto_configure: but I
get a "sh:1 Syntax error: redirection unexpected" - so I'm kind of
stuck on how to move forward.
I was hoping to find an existing Debian package that uses meson
building Vala within the archives to see how the maintainer did
something similar but my Google-fu has failed to find such a package
:(
