Launchpad itself

dh_autoreconf not working ?

Asked by André Roth

hello,

locally my project tvdaemon builds and a nice deb is created, but on my ppa the build steps seems to be skipped:

https://launchpadlibrarian.net/140696468/buildlog.txt.gz

 dpkg-source -i -I -b recipe-{debupstream}-{revno}
dpkg-source: info: using source format `3.0 (native)'
dpkg-source: info: building tvdaemon in tvdaemon_0.1-19~saucy1.tar.gz
dpkg-source: info: building tvdaemon in tvdaemon_0.1-19~saucy1.dsc
 dpkg-genchanges -S -sa >../tvdaemon_0.1-19~saucy1_source.changes
dpkg-genchanges: including full source code in upload
 dpkg-source -i -I --after-build recipe-{debupstream}-{revno}
dpkg-buildpackage: source only upload: Debian-native package

what am I doing wrong ?

found out that "build" means creating a source package, and "upload" means build the deb

Close, but not quite. Each package, source or binary, goes through three phases: build, upload, and publish. Normally you'd build the source locally, upload it to Launchpad, Launchpad will publish it, Launchpad will create binary builds, then upload those binaries, then publish them to ppa.launchpad.net.

But in the case of a recipe, Launchpad does the initial build step, which is what you've linked to: Launchpad built the source package, which it then uploaded, which created binary builds, etc. If you look at https://code.launchpad.net/~neolynx/+recipe/tvdaemon-daily you'll see that each recipe source build has two binary builds under it, one for each of i386 and amd64.

Thanks for pointing that out ! Everything seems to work find with some patience :)

Are you perhaps the right person to ask for a armel/armhf build ? My TV server is
supposed to work on the raspi...

PPAs only build for Ubuntu, and the Raspberry Pi's CPU is too old to run
Ubuntu's ARM port.
