[GRASS5] problem building debian package from GRASS CVS source

Hello,

I am trying to build debian package out of the GRASS CVS source by entering

fakeroot buildpackage in the grass6 directory. I get the following error:

[...]
sed
's#'/home/mlennert/CVS/GRASS/grass6/dist.i386-pc-linux-gnu'#'/home/mlennert/CVS/GRASS/grass6/debian/tmp/usr/grass-6.1.cvs'#g'

i.e.
cp: cannot evaluate `./usr/bin/grass61': No file or directory of this type.

1) Am I doing something wrong ?
2) Have the deb package config files from the DebianGIS effort flown back into
the GRASS CVS ? If not, is there a reason why they can't/shouldn't ?
3) What do I have to do to make deb-package out of the current CVS-tree ?

Yes. But I'm packaging releases for debian, the most recent of which is
6.0.1RC1. I haven't personally done anything to update for 6.1/cvs.

There is a duplicate set of targets in the debian/rules file. Deleting
everything after the second #!/usr/bin/make -f is a start. But it looks
like there are other problems when it gets to debian/fixscripts.sh
because nviz is gone or moved.

I have updated GRASS 6.1-CVS a couple of days ago and apparently
overseen a patch problem in debian/rules (thanks for finding, Steve!).
Fixed in 6.1-CVS.

If you are generally interested to understand what happened in
a CVS directory, get

cvs2cl.pl
(e.g., from http://www.red-bean.com/cvs2cl/

and launch it in the directory of interest. This will generate the
(local) ChangeLog file which probably answers the question if
DebianGIS effort have flown back into the GRASS CVS:

Note that the debian/ subdirectory is not packaged into the source
code release packages.

3) What do I have to do to make deb-package out of the current CVS-tree ?

Moritz

Please update from GRASS 6.1-CVS and try again (and report).

Thanks & sorry for the confusion.

Please post the error (or send it to me).
In general I cannot help/test too much as I don't have Debian here.

However, I want to enable Debian users like Moritz to compile
6.1-CVS without extra efforts, that's why I updated debian/ from
the work done for 6.0.0.

Without bothering the lists too much, Moritz[/Steve] and me can
solve that offlist.

--without-cxx was originally added due to http://bugs.debian.org/287651,
which had to do with insecure tempfile creation. Has that issue been
resolved in r.terraflow?

Steve

I don't know - does anyone in the list?

It uses a hardcoded temp dir of /var/tmp/flowStream. So no, it has not
been fixed.

I'm still working on the tempfile creation issues. It's a large amount
of code to work through and it bores me so work is sporadic. :wink: Maybe I
should apply code as I go instead of generating a massive patch (where
appropriate)?
