Ubuntu source package for neutron can not be rebuild

[George Shuklin]

Ubuntu's source package for neutron can not be rebuild twice:

1. There is no proper clean target.
2. neutron.egg-info included in neutron_2013.2.3.orig.tar.gz (regardless of .gitignore in original git).

That cause problem when package is build twice from same source. 1st build is fine, 2nd cause following errors:

(each type of error cited once)
1. dpkg-source: warning: newly created empty file 'build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/neutron/openstack/common/__init__.py' will not be represented in diff
2. dpkg-source: error: cannot represent change to neutron/__init__.pyc: binary file contents changed

3. dpkg-source: info: local changes detected, the modified files are:
 neutron-2013.2.3/neutron.egg-info/entry_points.txt
 neutron-2013.2.3/neutron.egg-info/requires.txt

1 and 2 caused by lack of clean target.

3rd error is more problematic:
tar -tzvf neutron_2013.2.3.orig.tar.gz|grep egg

-rw-rw-r-- jenkins/jenkins 406 2014-04-03 20:49 neutron-2013.2.3/neutron.egg-info/requires.txt

But git repository stated it should not be included to source/git: https://github.com/openstack/neutron/blob/stable/havana/.gitignore (neutron.egg-info/).

This is a package issue rather than a neutron one.

You should report a bug to the bug tracker system used by the distro of your choice. This should be: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/neutron
