Build fails against bzr 2.5 stable, rebuild or new upstream requested

[Nate Muench (Mink)]

You may mark this invalid for what I'm about to say, don't.

A couple of days ago, bzr 2.5 went stable. So because I maintain a repo for bzr Oneiric builds. I decided it was time to backport bzr-git, bzr-svn, and bzrtools from the Precise/Debian repos for the 2.5 release. bzrtools built successfully, bzr-git and bzr-svn weren't so lucky.

So looking at the build logs, I thought all it needed was python-testtools. bzr-svn (I believe) got a little further in the build (but still failed). It needed a file, after I used Google to see what package(s) needed, I uploaded, let it build, and rebuild bzr-svn. Failed again. Again, I'm building for/against Oneiric.

Decided to move bzr-git & bzr-svn to my stage PPA and build against Precise, just in case. I was shocked to find out that bzr-git & bzr-svn both failed to build against bzr 2.5.0 & Precise. The bzr-git & bzr-svn packages currently in Precise were built against bzr 2.5.0 beta 5.

I am requesting a rebuild of bzr-git & bzr-svn against bzr 2.5.0 stable or a new upstream release that fixed the build problems with bzr 2.5.0.

Attached are the partial build logs for my bzr-git & bzr-svn Precise builds

Please file a separate bug for the bzr-svn issue, these are two different issues.

[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

I've uploaded a fixed package to Debian.

This bug was fixed in the package bzr-git - 0.6.7+bzr1582-1

---------------
bzr-git (0.6.7+bzr1582-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Install git-remote-bzr into /usr/bin rather than /usr/lib/git-core
    so it gets picked up by non-system git installations. Thanks
    Jonathan Nieder. Closes: #658141.
  * Add debian/tests with simple test to run testsuite and smoke test for
    git remote helper.
  * Fix copyright format string in copyright file.
  * Bump standards version to 3.9.3.
  * New upstream snapshot.
   + Fixes compatibility with bzr 2.5. Closes: #942883
