Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.13.10 I just cloned the upstream git repository from http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git sha id 248542ea9ae9125a7ccf214b979ada9908ea1358.
I noticed it has a debian dir, so I wanted to build it. I ran dpkg-checkbuilddeps and it didn't complain. However, the build failed. It seems if a Build-Depends line is corrupted, dpkg-checkbuilddeps exits successfully with no output. I think this is bad. Here's a change I made to the control file, and after this change dpkg-checkbuilddeps did complain about the missing build deps. diff --git a/debian/control b/debian/control --- a/debian/control +++ b/debian/control @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ Source: git-core Section: devel Priority: optional Maintainer: Junio C Hamano <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -Build-Depends-Indep: libz-dev, libssl-dev, libcurl3-dev, asciidoc > 6.0.3, xmlto, debhelper (>= 4.0.0) +Build-Depends-Indep: libz-dev, libssl-dev, libcurl3-dev, asciidoc (>> 6.0.3), xmlto, debhelper (>= 4.0.0) Standards-Version: 3.6.1 Package: git-core -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
