Daily recipe build fails on Launchpad but works locally

Asked by Raoul Snyman

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a daily build from a recipe for my OpenLP project. I've tested it out locally, creating the recipe, running it through bzr dailydeb, and then running the resulting source package through pbuilder, and everything works fine.

When I created the recipe on Launchpad, however, it fails with the following exception:

bzr: ERROR: exceptions.AttributeError: 'cStringIO.StringI' object has no attribute 'split'
Traceback (most recent call last):

The recipe:
  https://code.launchpad.net/~openlp-core/+recipe/openlp-daily

The full build log:
  https://launchpadlibrarian.net/127695793/buildlog.txt.gz

The command I'm using:
  $ bzr dailydeb --allow-fallback-to-native ~/openlp.recipe ~/lprecipe

The only difference I have between the two recipes is that locally I'm using a local checkout of the same repository, because builddeb has connection timeouts when trying to check out the remote repo.

Launchpad doesn't support recipe format 0.4 yet. Try changing your recipe to version 0.3 (just s/0.4/0.3/ in the first line).

Unfortunately I need the {latest-tag} (which is not in version 0.3) for how we generate version numbers, so I guess I'll have to stick with my build scripts for the moment.

Thanks for the answer.
