I am a bit confused by this bug. Did you perhaps intend to submit it against debootstrap instead of debhelper? > Since bug #571136 was fixed we no longer actually need a devices.tar.gz > to build our tarball. However we can't just checkout the debootstrap > script and call directly because it still requires the tarball. One > possible fix is attached bellow, although a more thorough cleaning could > be done: > > --- > Subject: [PATCH] debootstrap: fail gracefully copying devices.tgar.gz > > The devices tarball only exists if you build the source code (as root) > before invoking the script. Since bug #571136 was fixed the > --second-stage doesn't even use the devices tarball so we can afford to > fail gracefully when it doesn't exist. In addition this allows us to > call the script under -e conditions from a straight checkout which is > useful in other cases. > > Signed-off-by: Alex Bennée <[email protected]> > --- > debootstrap | 2 +- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/debootstrap b/debootstrap > index 2a959bb..4027a5d 100755 > --- a/debootstrap > +++ b/debootstrap > @@ -635,7 +635,7 @@ if am_doing_phase first_stage; then > if ! am_doing_phase second_stage; then > cp "$0" > "$TARGET/debootstrap/debootstrap" > cp $DEBOOTSTRAP_DIR/functions "$TARGET/debootstrap/functions" > - cp $DEBOOTSTRAP_DIR/devices.tar.gz > "$TARGET/debootstrap/devices.tar.gz" > + cp $DEBOOTSTRAP_DIR/devices.tar.gz > "$TARGET/debootstrap/devices.tar.gz" || true > cp $SCRIPT > "$TARGET/debootstrap/suite-script" > echo "$ARCH" >"$TARGET/debootstrap/arch" > echo "$SUITE" >"$TARGET/debootstrap/suite" > -- > 2.7.4 > > -- > Alex Bennée > > > _______________________________________________ > debhelper-devel mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/debhelper-devel >
