That might indeed work in some cases but unfortunately not here. The files I need are `BUILD` files, the Bazel equivalent of a makefile. Even if they wanted to, upstream would not be able to move them. While I don't need to package sources that are already available in Debian, I do need the configuration information contained in those `BUILD` files. -Olek

It looks like your package has nothing to do with KDE. As a result, please do not use "Section: kde" in debian/control file. Maybe we can use "Section: utils". 2. Please also document the copyright holder information and different license information for files under m4/ directory, epecially ax_have_qt.m4 and ax_lib_sqlite3.m4. 3. Please clean up debian/changelog file and drop all past changelog entries that never existed in Debian. (They never existed in the past and they won't exist in the future so they should not appear anyway.) See https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/anymeal for the history of package anymeal in Debian. 4. Can you explain the reason of overriding dh_auto_install in debian/rules directory? If you are using Autotools buildsystem correctly, you should not do override at all and the package will build successfully without human intervention. The problem 1), 2) and 3) should be fixed and you can feel free to investigate into 4) if you are willing to.

You are both confusing pdebuild with pbuilder here. That's the `clean` step that is failing, which is done outside of the chroot. That's responsability of whoever is calling `pdebuild` to satisfy. If you are sure your source is clean you may as well just skip cleaning and not use pdebuild: dpkg-source -b . dpkg-source --after-build . pbuilder b ../freetype-py_2.2.0-1.dsc the above sequence should prove that nothing is at fault here. -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`.

In this case, I would politely ask upstream to move the configuration files in another location to make Debian packaging easier. In my experience, barring technical issues, this kind of request tends to be accepted upstream. Hope this helps Dod
Re: Seeking a mentoree for imagemagick
Hello, This is in response to a mailing list requesting mentees found here https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2020/07/msg00196.html My name is Basil (yes, like the herb) and would like to help out. I am new to the open source community and I am coming here after the TLF OSS NA that happened towards the beginning of July. I am specifically looking to contribute in any way to the open source community and learn all I can. I am willing to learn what is needed for me to be accepted as a mentee and if it is fine by you please mentor me. This is not an impulsive mail and I will put in the effort :) Sincerely, Basil George Poulose

Ok, I've never done this before, so a little bit of help is needed now Basten, :) So, by "see the security tracker" I'm guessing you meant to check https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/imagemagick right? I saw bullseye has a lot of issues listed as vulnerable, while both stretch and buster are listed as fixed. Since buster & bullseye both has the same version, 8:6.9.10.23+dfsg-2.1, I'm wondering what are the steps I should take to fix say CVE-2020-13902, and CVE-2020-10251 (of which buster is listed as "vulnerable (no DSA, ignored)").

The python3-setuptools-scm build dependency could not be installed in
your environment which causes setuptools to try download this package.
That obviously fails.
Shouldn't pdebuild make sure that all the build dependencies are installed?
