Bug#302677: qmail: FTBFS: Missing Build-Depends on 'groff-base' and missing users and groups

2005-05-05 Thread Jon Marler
Quoting Tomas Hoger [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi! I think it is an FTBFS bug. The following should generally work: apt-get source qmail cd qmail-* dpkg-buildpackage For qmail, this does not work because of the missing Build-Depends on groff-base and because of the missing users/groups.

Bug#302677: Fix for missing build-depends

2005-05-05 Thread Jon Marler
I am including a fix for the missing build-depends line in the control file. However, I am not changing how the package presently handles creating the users. qmail-src is not in the main package repository. It's in the non-free repository, which, in reality, means it's not officially part of

If you use fakeroot to call dpkg-buildpackage, it works prefectly. Something is wrong with the way that dpkg-buildpackage is calling fakeroot. The chown calls work perfect, and you can build the package using a different syntax. Not sure what you need done here. Jon On Jun 12, 2008, at

Quoting Stephen Gran [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I think you are letting your crankiness interfere with your logic. The people arguing that qmail is non-free are a different group than those that have anything to do with funding anything. If you can't adequately maintain the package, say so instead

Quoting Alex Owen [EMAIL PROTECTED]: As others have said there is no need to compile the source when building a source as binary package. Hence there is no need to have depandancies on specific users when building the qmail-src deb from the qmail source deb. There are two ways of solving

Thanks for the report. All of that inetd.conf stuff is old legacy code from a migration long long ago before update-inetd was available. I believe I will just remove it all together as it is no longer necessary, and probably never was in the first place. I have a release that I am
