Not sure if this is the correct forum for this, but dpkg-buildpackage has an issue when a cdbs compliant rules file specifies a deb destination directory to be different then '..'. The problem comes about from this part of the dpkg-buildpackage script.
chg=../"$pva.changes" withecho dpkg-genchanges "$@" >"$chg" First problem is that the resultant changes file is always going to be in the parent directory. The second problem is that if dh_builddeb built the .deb(s) in someplace other then .. (as specified by --destdir) then dpkg-genchanges is unable to find them since dpkg-buildpackage does not allow you to set and pass the -u parameter to dpkg-genchanges. Both of these make it really impossible to support building debian packages in anything other then parent directory. Perhaps not ideal, but another alternative would be to add a command line option that disables the whole dpkg-genchanges file creation. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
