> 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.
