Package: debhelper
Version: 9.20130630
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
in light of recent make target detection code bugs #706923, #707481,
#713257 I have yet another one.
Using hello source package with following rules file & debian/compat 9:
%:
dh $@
override_dh_auto_test:
mkdir -p test
dh_auto_test
Results in testsuite target "check" to not be executed. since `make -s
-n test` exits with 0 "nothing to be done with test".
But looking at bash-completion package it does manage to correctly
detect that test target doesn't exist, yet check target does.
Bash-completion executes this to find all make targets:
make -qp | awk -F':' '/^[a-zA-Z0-9][^$#\/\t=]*:([^=]|$)/ \
{split($1,A,/ /);for(i in A)print A[i]}'
Maybe something similar to above can be used to search for make targets
in debhelper? Seems like a slightly more reliable way to do so.
Regards,
Dmitrijs.
