    udev - compiling into .deb issues

    I am trying to make the udev .deb from a local bzr branch.
    As a starting point, I have not made any changes, but rather am just trying to get it to build.
    The reference I am using is: http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/
    and it took awhile but I finally figured out that
    Code:
    bzr branch ubuntu:p/udev precise
    doesn't work and it needs to be
    Code:
    bzr branch ubuntu:precise/udev precise
    When I get to the build step
    Code:
    bzr builddeb -- -S -us -uc
    It does stuff for a short time and then gives up, after some lintian warnings
    Code:
    ...
    dpkg-source: info: building udev in udev_175-0ubuntu9.dsc
     dpkg-genchanges -S >../udev_175-0ubuntu9_source.changes
    dpkg-genchanges: not including original source code in upload
     dpkg-source --after-build udev-175
    dpkg-source: info: using options from udev-175/debian/source/options: --tar-ignore=.bzr --tar-ignore=.git --tar-ignore=test --diff-ignore=(^|/)(.bzr|.gitignore|test)($$|/)|docs/.*\.types
    dpkg-buildpackage: binary and diff upload (original source NOT included)
    Now running lintian...
    W: udev source: debian-rules-missing-recommended-target build-arch
    W: udev source: debian-rules-missing-recommended-target build-indep
    W: udev source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.9.2 (current is 3.9.3)
    Finished running lintian.
    Cleaning build dir: /home/doug/udev-bzr-pp-2/build-area/udev-175
    (precise_i386)doug@s15:~/udev-bzr-pp-2/bug-986654$
    I have been unable to get any further.

    Other notes:
    I am working on bug 986654
    Compiling on a different computer, with a chroot environment, because the destination computer (the one that demonstrates the issue) is very pathetic.
    while the udev 175-0ubuntu9.1 update was released a day or two ago, the bzr branch doesn't seem to include it yet. It doesn't matter because the problem remains and I will want to go backwards from 175-0ubuntu9 anyhow.
    I have tried to increase verbose information in debian/rules with "export DH_VERBOSE=1".

    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    This isnt giving up, it looks fine (apart from inevitable warnings) and I imagine its built the source package ok. if you look in directory above do you not find tarball and .dsc files?
    -S will build a source package, have you tried building the binaries with -b? Maybe thats the .deb files you were expecting

    Thanks for the reply.
    Yes the tarball and .dsc files were there. And yes, using the -b option makes the .deb files I was expecting.
