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/tasksh_1.2.0-1_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.

We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
tasksh, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive.

A summary of the changes between this version and the previous one is
attached.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 1046804@bugs.debian.org,
and the maintainer will reopen the bug report if appropriate.

Hello Andreas.

As I'm currently looking at those bugs, I'm always curious about
how other people fix them.

In this package the file cmake.h has not any "precious" status,
and it does not really need to be preserved.

The package builds the same regardless of its contents, so in this
case you can just remove the file before the build starts, as in the
attached patch (where we use debian/clean).

Thanks.

Hi Santiago,

I absolutely agree that simply removing would be a valid means to
solve this bug.

I admit I would not see some immediate reason to upload for this change
in principle.  However, given Iain's response to rather orphan the package
I'll upload your patch.

You are welcome
    Andreas.

found a good excuse to do so, that's fine as well!

While we are at it: Lintian (rightfully) flags as a warning every
orphaned package in a salsa team different than the "debian" team.

I know there is a section in "salsa support" where people put
issues like "please move this from here to there".

Is there any other way to do that without bothering salsa admins?

(For very recently orphaned packages like "tasksh" there is still some
hope that the new maintainer is also in the team, my question is
mainly for packages orphaned several years ago).

Thanks.
