Package: src:ppl Version: 1:1.1-7 User: sanv...@debian.org Usertags: binary-indep Severity: important
Dear maintainer: I tried to build this package with "dpkg-buildpackage -A" (i.e. only architecture-independent packages), and it failed: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [...] debian/rules build-indep dh_testdir dh_autoreconf libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in `.'. libtoolize: copying file `./ltmain.sh' libtoolize: putting macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR, `m4'. libtoolize: copying file `m4/libtool.m4' libtoolize: copying file `m4/ltoptions.m4' libtoolize: copying file `m4/ltsugar.m4' libtoolize: copying file `m4/ltversion.m4' libtoolize: copying file `m4/lt~obsolete.m4' ./configure --build x86_64-linux-gnu --host x86_64-linux-gnu --disable-ppl_lpsol --disable-ppl_lcdd --enable-interfaces=c,cxx,swi_prolog \ [... snipped ...] config.status: creating demos/ppl_lcdd/examples/Makefile config.status: creating demos/ppl_lpsol/Makefile config.status: creating demos/ppl_lpsol/examples/Makefile config.status: creating demos/ppl_pips/Makefile config.status: creating demos/ppl_pips/examples/Makefile config.status: creating doc/Makefile config.status: creating doc/user.doxyconf-latex config.status: creating doc/devref.doxyconf-latex config.status: creating doc/user.doxyconf-html config.status: creating doc/devref.doxyconf-html config.status: creating doc/user-language-interface.doxyconf config.status: creating doc/devref-language-interface.doxyconf config.status: creating interfaces/Makefile config.status: creating interfaces/C/Makefile config.status: creating interfaces/C/ppl_c_version.h config.status: creating interfaces/C/tests/Makefile config.status: creating interfaces/Java/Makefile config.status: creating interfaces/Java/jni/Makefile config.status: creating interfaces/Java/tests/Makefile config.status: creating interfaces/Java/parma_polyhedra_library/Makefile config.status: creating interfaces/OCaml/Makefile config.status: creating interfaces/OCaml/tests/Makefile config.status: creating interfaces/Prolog/Makefile config.status: creating interfaces/Prolog/Ciao/Makefile config.status: creating interfaces/Prolog/GNU/Makefile config.status: creating interfaces/Prolog/SICStus/Makefile config.status: creating interfaces/Prolog/SWI/Makefile config.status: creating interfaces/Prolog/XSB/Makefile config.status: creating interfaces/Prolog/YAP/Makefile config.status: creating interfaces/Prolog/tests/Makefile config.status: creating config.h config.status: executing depfiles commands config.status: executing libtool commands touch configure-stamp export save_size=10000 ; /usr/bin/make -C doc user-configured make[1]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/doc' make[1]: *** No rule to make target '../interfaces/C/ppl_c.h', needed by 'ppl-user-configured-c-interface-1.1-html'.

The common hints are: * If the only architecture-independent packages are dummy transitional ones and they were released with jessie, the easy fix is to drop them now. * When using "dh", it is allowed to use (independently) optional targets override_dh_foo-arch and override_dh_foo-indep (for several values of "foo"). Once that both "dpkg-buildpackage -A" and "dpkg-buildpackage -B" work properly, the package would be suitable to be uploaded in source-only form if you wish. Thanks.
