Bug#403058: xtla: FTBFS: b-dep on emacs-snapshot, which is not in testing
Hi, For the record, emacs-snapshot was removed from unstable as well, so xtla definitely needs to be updated and this build-dep to be removed. Regis
Bug#403058: xtla: FTBFS: b-dep on emacs-snapshot, which is not in testing
Package: xtla Version: 1.2.1-1 Severity: serious Justification: FTBFS on i386, very likely to fail everywhere else Usertags: grid5000 Hi Matthieu, During a rebuild of all packages in etch, I discovered that your package failed to build on i386. It build-depends on emacs-snapshot, which is not available in testing (see #321676). The full build log is available from http://blop.info/bazaar/buildlogs/20061214/ About the archive rebuilt: The rebuilt was done on about 30 AMD64 nodes of the Grid'5000 platform, using a clean chroot containing an etch i386 environment (not unstable). Internet was not accessible from the build systems. The builds were processed as root. About Grid'5000: Grid'5000 is an highly reconfigurable experimental Grid platform gathering 9 sites and featuring a total of 5000 CPUs. It serves as a testbed for research in Grid Computing.

It build-depends on emacs-snapshot, which is not available in testing (see #321676). The purpose of this Build-Depends seems to be the creation of a flavor-specific xtla-autoload.el. I see two possible solutions to this problem: - Generate the files once when the source package is built, and ship them in the diff.gz. This might be the simpler short-term solution. If emacs-snapshot is too much of a moving target, and the static autoload.el file stops to work, then we're not better off with having it statically in the deb, so this is no argument against having it in the diff.gz. - Run configure and generate the autoload files at package install time. AUCteX, another emacs-add on, does this already. Regards, Frank -- Dr. Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f. Biochemie, Univ. Zürich Debian Developer (teTeX/TeXLive)
