dh-strip-nondeterminism isn't a real dependency. The deb package probably includes it so deb devs can install all the tools they might need at once. It's also largely a duplicate of community/strip-nondeterminism, with the only difference being a single script. So I'm adding just that script to this package.

Should this depend on dh-strip-nondeterminism as well? The debhelper package from Debian depends on it.

It seems that there's a missing dependency: perl-pod-parser

This package was left behind it's development stage and is considered outdated

Please follow my debhelpergit at ttps://aur.archlinux.org/packages/debhelpergit/

I will probably provide dh_*git new PKGBUILDs too

Upstream URL changed ?

==> Retrieving sources... -> Cloning debhelper git repo... Cloning into bare repository '/home/username/aur/debhelper/debhelper'... fatal: remote error: access denied or repository not exported: /debhelper/debhelper.git ==> ERROR: Failure while downloading debhelper git repo Aborting...

Visiting the upstream URL : https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debhelper/debhelper.git/

shows No repositories found.

Please add a patch for debhelper to install the man pages: diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index 9cd42c8e..6d71d17d 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -130,5 +130,11 @@ install: install -m 0644 Debian/Debhelper/Sequence/*.pm $(DESTDIR)$(PERLLIBDIR)/Sequence install -m 0644 Debian/Debhelper/Buildsystem/*.pm $(DESTDIR)$(PERLLIBDIR)/Buildsystem +install-man: $(MANPAGES) debhelper.7 debhelper-obsolete-compat.7 + install -d $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/share/man/man1 \ + $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/share/man/man7 + install -m 0644 $(MANPAGES) $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/share/man/man1 + install -m 0644 debhelper.7 debhelper-obsolete-compat.7 $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/share/man/man7 + test: version MAKEFLAGS= HARNESS_OPTIONS=j$(TEST_JOBS) ./run perl -MTest::Harness -e 'runtests grep { ! /CVS/ && ! /\.svn/ && -f && -x && m/\.t$$/ } @ARGV' t/* t/*/* And then add "install-man" to the "make install" in the PKGBUILD. Thanks :) It doesn't install the localized man pages but imo english is enough.

@benallard I recall that being an issue but just spun up a new arch machine and didn't see it can you provide me your solution to add to the package?

benallard commented on 2017-01-25 07:46 (UTC)

Can we hard-code the path to pod2man in the buildscript please ? It systematically fails unless one alter the PATH for that one build.
