captures_build_path
|
|
Description
|
Captures build path, e.g., /build/1st/foo-42.0 v. /build/foo-42.0/2nd
Currently we vary the build path only when testing packages from unstable
and experimental, for testing and stable we recommend that rebuilds are done in the
same path as the original build.
.
This issue is only for miscellaneous issues which need individual fixes,
please create new issues for specific issues, e.g. gcc_captures_build_path.
.
Here follows some general tips for packages using the standard GNU toolchain:
.
If using autoconf, make sure you call ./configure via a relative and not absolute path.
.
If your issue is related to using the `__FILE__` macro, or the recording of
--debug-prefix-map flags in non-GCC non-debugging output, this is what is
fixed by our patch mentioned above; you should not need to fix it
specifically in your package.
.

test_suite_logs
|
|
Description
|
Package embeds test suite logs, which may include a variety of
issues such as timestamps, timing information, kernel, username,
hostname, etc.

|
Comments:
|
Capture build time and hostname in
/usr/share/doc/gdb/check.log.gz
export FORCE_SOURCE_DATE=1 in debian/rules did not fix dvi/ps
issues.
