Jake Farrell closed THRIFT-1988. -------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed Fix Version/s: 1.0 Assignee: Jake Farrell Removed NEWS file as it was deleted in previous release > When trying to build a debian package it fails as the file NEWS doesn't exist > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: THRIFT-1988 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1988 > Project: Thrift > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Build Process > Affects Versions: 0.9 > Environment: Ubuntu 13.04 > Reporter: Ricky Cormier > Assignee: Jake Farrell > Fix For: 1.0 > > > The debian packaging defines that a NEWS file should exist (debian/docs); > however, no such file exists. This causes the packaging stage to fail with > the following error: > {noformat} > dh_installdocs > cp: cannot stat `NEWS': No such file or directory > dh_installdocs: cp -a NEWS > debian/thrift-compiler/usr/share/doc/thrift-compiler returned exit code 1 > make[1]: *** [binary-common] Error 2 > make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ricky/development/git/thrift' > make: *** [binary-arch] Error 2 > dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status > 2 > {noformat} > I checked to see if this file is meant to be auto-generated but could find no > obvious mechanism for doing so. I can get the package to build in two ways: > 1. just add a NEWS file (touch NEWS in the top-level folder works) > 2. Remove the line containing NEWS from the debian/docs file > If this file isn't actually needed removing it from the debian/docs is > probably the best solution. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
