Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.17.1 Severity: wishlist Hi, I't be nice if dpkg-buildpackage would report build information (e.g. things like the name of the generated changes file) to build-tools invoking it.
Doing this via a status fd would be nice[1] since we could then implement more nice things like progress information (we'd then be able to detect easily which dpkg-buildpackage's steps failed) without parsing the full build output. This report is triggered by #732678 where gbp failed to find the generated changes file for a architecture independent package build since it didn't look at the options passed to dpkg-buildpackage until recently. Cheers, -- Guido [1] The status fd has the disadvantage that we need to pass it through tools like pbuilder and sbuild as well so a file at a well known location might be simpler. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-dpkg-bugs-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
