Package: revolt
Version: 0.0+git20170627.3f5112b-2
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)
In bug #885019, the GNOME maintainers were asked to move the
glib-compile-resources tool to a more appropriate package to fix
cross-compiling. glib-compile-resources is a development tool and is not
needed by typical non-developer users, so moving it to libglib2.0-dev-bin
seemed most appropriate.
For the majority of packages that use glib-compile-resources, this had no
practical effect, because libglib2.0-dev depends on both. However,
revolt is unusual in that it uses glib-compile-resources without
depending on libglib2.0-dev (because it isn't native code). Depending
on libglib2.0-bin was previously enough to get glib-compile-resources,
but now isn't enough, making revolt FTBFS.
This is easily fixed by changing the Build-Depends to pull in either
libglib2.0-dev-bin, or libglib2.0-dev. I'll do a delayed NMU with the
obvious change when I get a bug number; or if a maintainer would prefer
to take care of this, a suitable patch is attached.
Thanks,
smcv
