Hi,

This package fails to build a source package after a successful build
(dpkg-buildpackage ; dpkg-buildpackage -S).

This is probably a clear violation of Debian Policy section 4.9 (clean target),
but this is filed as severity:minor for now, because a discussion on
debian-devel showed that we might want to revisit the requirement of a working
'clean' target.

More information about this class of issues, included common problems and
solutions, is available at
https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/FTBFS/SourceAfterBuild

Relevant part of the build log:
The full build log is available from:
http://qa-logs.debian.net/2023/08/13/wpan-tools_0.9-1_unstable.log

If you reassign this bug to another package, please mark it as 'affects'-ing
this package. See https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control#affects

If you fail to reproduce this, please provide a build log and diff it with mine
so that we can identify if something relevant changed in the meantime.

Hi Guido,

since wpan-tools came up as Bug of the Day candidate today I tried to
help with the Salsa migration of this package since I understood you are
welcoming this.

I have injected the result of `gbp import-dscs` to Debian team on Salsa

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/wpan-tools

Please let me know if you have some more fine grained repository
somewhere else.  I'd happily take over this and rewrite history on Salsa
in case you agree that the package should be sensibly maintained there.

I fixed Homepage and added a watch file.  There is a newer version on
Github, but I did *not* upgraded the upstream version yet since I have
no idea about this code and would like to leave it to you to go this
step.

Otherwise I updated the packaging to recent standards including fixing
the open bug - thus its tagged patch[1].

Ideally you could take over from here and do a maintainer upload either
of the currently packaged or the new upstream version.  If you do not
have time for this I could easily NMU the current state of the said
repository.

Kind regards
    Andreas.

Hi Andreas,

https://salsa.debian.org/agx/wpan-tools

if you can pick that up instead (and add our watch file, thanks for
that!) I can do an upload but I can't test the new version as I don't
have hw near me anymore.

I'll add Carsten in cc: as he was interested in wpan-tools too in the
past so maybe we can drag it along together.

Cheers,
 -- Guido

I'd be happy if either you or Carsten could take over from here and do
whatever might make the most sense.

Thanks again

Hi Andreas,

Thanks, MR for the update is at

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/wpan-tools/-/merge_requests/1

I'll give Carsten a chance to have a look and will otherwise upload
in a couple of days.

One note: it seems your update didn't update the tags which confused
all tooling¹ as the remote tags had different sha1 than what was in
my repo. Not a big deal, just mentioning it in case you have a script
to do such things that could be updated.

Cheers,
 -- Guido

Looks good so merged this.  I just realise that you wanted to have
Carsten a look at the MR - stupid me for this oversight.  As a
punishment for me I volunteer to rework the repository *including*
correct tags (see below) if Carsten might find some issues.

Sounds great.

I guess the problem occured since I was using gbp import-dscs first
(since Salsa search did not uncovered your private repository).  Since
I pushed the result first the tags generated here were used inside
the repository on Salsa.

Later on I cloned your repository and added my own commits but this
did not changed the tags.

Thanks a lot for being that quick (and sorry for me being to quick -
as I said I'll care for the cleanup if this might lead to something
that should be reverted).

Kind regards
    Andreas.

Hi,

I have updated the tags already before sending the mail. No need to do
anything in that regard.

I'm quite busy with some business trips at the moment, the next two
weeks I'm unable to do any serious packaging work.
Please go ahead with an upload by your own, thank you.

Have fun with your trips!

I've NMUed to delayed=5 (to somehow get this from my desk of packages
not on Salsa).  There was no version bump yet so this should be OK.
Please check the upgrade to new upstream once you might find some spare
cycles for this.

See you
   Andreas.
