Build from source files fails on Ubuntu due to missing ChangeLog
Describe the bug
Build from source files fails on Ubuntu due to missing ChangeLog
Steps to reproduce: On Ubuntu 22.10 new system cd /tmp wget https://github.com/trapexit/mergerfs/archive/refs/tags/2.35.0.tar.gz tar xvf mergerfs-2.35.0.tar.gz cd mergerfs-2.35.0 ./tools/install-build-pkgs make deb make distclean make[1]: Entering directory '/opt/src/mergerfs-2.35.0' rm -rf rpmbuild rm -rf build find . -name "*~" -delete make -C libfuse clean make[2]: Entering directory '/opt/src/mergerfs-2.35.0/libfuse' rm -rf build make[2]: Leaving directory '/opt/src/mergerfs-2.35.0/libfuse' make[1]: Leaving directory '/opt/src/mergerfs-2.35.0' make debian-changelog make[1]: Entering directory '/opt/src/mergerfs-2.35.0' cp ChangeLog debian/changelog cp: cannot stat 'ChangeLog': No such file or directory make[1]: *** [Makefile:222: debian-changelog] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/opt/src/mergerfs-2.35.0' make: *** [Makefile:233: deb] Error 2
Expected - build to work Issue: No ChangeLog is included in src file and it is not a git directory
Please use the expressly packaged source and not the github generated one.

Downloaded the tar and retried. Now generating a debian-buster package, although we are on Ubuntu 22.10

It isnt. It's just the changelog was built on that os. Is there some proper way to generate a changelog that isn't just sed?
Can you please explain to me what your trying to accomplish? Do you just want to build a package without git? You want a specific branded deb for download?
I am trying to build it from source on a Ubuntu 22.10 machine with Ansible. Ignore the original heading about the ChangeLog. I followed your advice and downloaded the released tar Current steps: wget https://github.com/trapexit/mergerfs/releases/download/2.35.0/mergerfs-2.35.0.tar.gz tar tvf mergerfs-2.35.0.tar.gz make deb Expected result: File in mergerfs named mergerfs_2.35.0~ubuntu-kinetic_amd64.deb Actual result File in mergerfs named mergerfs_2.35.0~debian-buster_amd64.deb
Just to verify that the system is the correct one, I ran: cat /etc/lsb-release and result is: DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=22.10 DISTRIB_CODENAME=kinetic DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 22.10"
So the CODENAME and DISTRIB_ID are correct, the make file is not picking it up.
It's not the makefile. Deb packages, afaik, need a fixed changelog file and the details about the OS is for some reason in the changelog. The only place that makes sense to pull a changelog is from git. Besides using sed to change those values I honestly don't know what I'm supposed to do. The documentation on this stuff is not great.
So I see a few options:
-
Change the changeling before building it for ubuntu. So if I changed debian/changelog first line to read: mergerfs (2.35.0~ubuntu-kenetic) kenetic; urgency=medium I got a mergerfs_2.35.0~ubuntu-kenetic_amd64.deb I guess you could sed the first line with lsb_release -c -s and lab_release -d -s
-
The other option, according to the docs, is to use debchange which does this for you, but it requires to install devscripts which is heavy. I will submit a PR

1 was what I was thinking. It's the simplest. But will need to work with the build process I have for creating the tarball. Need to put some token there to replace. I can do this. Don't worry about it.
