Source: courier
Version: 0.61.2-1
Stefan,
I've noticed that you modified a few Makefile.in files, but didn't touch
appropriate Makefile.am files. The list of them is below:
courier/Makefile.in
courier/doc/Makefile.in
courier/module.esmtp/Makefile.in
maildir/Makefile.in
I hope you agree with me that it's better to patch Makefile.am files and
run `automake` to regenerate Makefile.in files :)
Your source package is a base for my own Courier binary packages.
Recently I've added some special patches for my mail system and I was
really surprised, because I couldn't build the packages:
$ dpkg-source -x courier_0.61.2-1.dsc
$ cd courier-0.61.2/
$ cp -r /path/to/my/debian/patches/ debian/
$ dpatch apply-all
$ autoreconf -f
$ dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -rfakeroot
[...]
dh_movefiles
dh_movefiles: debian/tmp//usr/sbin/rmail not found (supposed to put it
in courier-mta)
dh_movefiles: debian/tmp//usr/share/man/man8/courier-mtaconfig.8 not
found (supposed to put it in courier-mta)
dh_movefiles: debian/tmp//usr/share/man/man8/courieresmtpd.8 not found
(supposed to put it in courier-mta)
make: *** [install] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: failure: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit
status 2
The files above were not symlinked or created, because I lost your
changes in Makefile.in files after `autoreconf -f`.
My best regards,
Pawel
