[fdo-internals] Build 14601?

Fri Dec 6 01:39:09 PST 2013

Jackie,

I have not taken a look, but if your intention is to build debian
packages, better use the right tools: build a correct source package
first and then compile that. This is the only way packages can
eventually be added to debian or on a shorter term to a ppa.

You will find an example here:
https://launchpad.net/~johanvdw/+archive/mapguide/+packages

On debian/ubuntu you could get the source by using
dget https://launchpad.net/~johanvdw/+archive/mapguide/+files/fdosvn_3.8.0~6959-1ubuntu1.dsc

Alternatively, you can download the file
https://launchpad.net/~johanvdw/+archive/mapguide/+files/fdosvn_3.8.0~6959-1ubuntu1.debian.tar.gz
and extract it in your code tree. Than run debuild -b to build a
binary file or debuild -S to build a source package

Note that the file still contains a lot of example files (with a .ex
extension). Ignore these and look to the files which really matter:
debian/control and debian/rules

While debugging you may want to use fakeroot debian/rules binary
