accept quilt returning "2" as success

[Jelmer Vernooij]

quilt will exit with 2 rather than 0 if everything was successful but e.g a particular patch was not in series. bzr-builder should not abort in this case.

This bug still isn't fixed in launchpad.net recipes, see https://launchpadlibrarian.net/75436123/buildlog.txt.gz :

The new bzr-builder has not yet been deployed on Launchpad; that is still in progress.

Is there a workaround? I have a brand new build/package built from scratch using the Gnu Autotools and dh_make/debuild following the tutorials in the Wiki's for beginners, and got this exact error. My build worked as native with a recipe, but when I switched to quilt, it started having this error. Works fine on my PC. Thanks in advance for any pointers.

[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

I would recommend just keeping your package native for the moment - bzr-builder at its current version will try to convert your package to native before it does any building anyway (and that's what's failing here).

[Patrick Pfeifer (patrick2000)]

there is a workaround:
 - add the following line to the end of debian/patches/series:
zz_dummy
 - create an empty file debian/patches/zz_dummy
 - bzr push lp:~username/+junk/projectname
 - in your receipt, merge this branch in by adding the following line to the end of the receipt
merge quiltdummy lp:~patrick2000/+junk/tmux

for a working example, see
https://code.launchpad.net/~patrick2000/+recipe/tmux
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~patrick2000/+junk/tmux/revision/14

[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

A simpler workaround is to just remove the debian/patches directory if you don't have any patches.

[Mantas Kriaučiūnas (mantas)]

I still can't build recipes in launchpad.net when source is with quilt patches:

Recipe contents
# bzr-builder format 0.3 deb-version {debupstream}-1
lp:debian/theunarchiver

Error is the same:
Applying quilt patches
File series fully applied, ends at patch remove-extra-period
bzr: ERROR: Failed to apply quilt patches

the new bzr-builder hasn't landed on launchpad yet

[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

A new bzr-builder with this fix has now been deployed to the launchpad buildds.
