captures_build_path
|
|
Description
|
Captures build path, e.g., /build/1st/foo-42.0 v. /build/foo-42.0/2nd
.
Until early 2024 we varied the build path when testing packages from unstable
and experimental, which we have stopped doing now as the build path is recorded
as part of the environment and thus can be used when rebuilding.
.
This issue is kept here for the time being.
.
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.

user_hostname_manually_added_requiring_further_investigation
|
|
Description
|
Packages which intentionally capture the username or hostname into a custom format,
but aren't obviously using any tool or system which has this as a core issue.
Interesting because they could be fixed by fixing these things at build time.

Identifier:

records_build_flags
|
|
Description
|
Records $CFLAGS, which vary intentionally due to the «-fdebug-prefix-map=${BUILDPATH}=.»,
«-ffile-prefix-map=${BUILDPATH}=.» or «-fmacro-prefix-map=${BUILDPATH}=.» flags.
.
We have a patch pending to GCC to fix this issue centrally:
.
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2016-11/msg00182.html
.
Though the patch is currently unlikely to be merged. If/when this
is accepted, this issue should be fixed for all packages and you
should not need to fix it specifically in your package.
.
There is also a work-in-progress patch to dpkg that could address this issue:

Our notes about issues affecting packages are stored in notes.git and are targeted at packages in Debian in 'unstable/amd64' (unless they say otherwise).
