Bug#1068809: dh-buildinfo: consider deprecating and removing the package

Show all headers | View raw

Thanks Yann for showing up! Now we know that we are all in agreement for this.

For completeness, I've rebuilt the 272 packages which BD on dh-buildinfo and found
that the following ones do not build from source:

bcron
csound
eccodes
gnumeric
leaktracer
libcache-lru-perl
libept
libjson-webtoken-perl
liblo
liblog-dispatch-message-passing-perl
libxml-libxml-debugging-perl
libyaml
o2
reqwest
runit

Some of them fail for reasons not related with dh-buildinfo.

Some of them are already reported.

But some of them are not reported yet. Among them:

- Some have a versioned BD on dh-buildinfo, which only the real one
satisfies but debhelper conflicts dh-buildinfo so the build fails
with "unsatisfiable build-depends".

- Some have "dh $@ --with buildinfo" which debhelper no longer handles.

Can someone care about reporting those? Please do not make 0-day NMUs, remember
that they will fail to build regardless of dh-buildinfo existing or not.

I'd like to wait for everything to be reported before we think of
reassigning to ftp.debian.org.

Regarding the blocks, I think they do not make sense at this point, because none
of the 272 packages try to install src:dh-buildinfo when they are built.
The ones that fail to build will fail with or without src:dh-buildinfo in
the archive, so I wonder if nab (hope this transliteration is ok)
would be willing to remove the blocks as a pre-condition to ask
ftpmasters to remove the package.

Thanks.
