Package: git-buildpackage
Version: 0.4.62
Severity: normal
Hi,
One of the first things git-buildpackage does is running debian/rules
(for some purpose I haven't yet figured out, nor really tried to).
Anyway, it does so without checking the build dependencies first, which
might break things without a pretty error message. For example, when I
run git-buildpackage on itself, I get:
matth...@xanthe:~/docs/src/upstream/git-buildpackage$ git-buildpackage
debian/rules:6: /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk: No such file or
directory
debian/rules:7: /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/python-distutils.mk: No such
file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target
`/usr/share/cdbs/1/class/python-distutils.mk'. Stop.
debuild: fatal error at line 1312:
couldn't exec fakeroot debian/rules:
debuild -d clean returned 2
Couldn't run 'debuild -d clean'
Whereas running dpkg-buildpackage aborts with a nice error:
dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: cdbs gtk-doc-tools
sgml2x jade
Perhaps git-buildpackage should run dpkg-checkbuilddeps as well?
Gr.
Matthijs
