Only satisfy the Build-Depends field for source builds (!537) · Merge requests · Salsa CI Team / Salsa CI pipeline

Andrea Pappacoda requested to merge tachi/pipeline:build-source-build-depends-only into master Aug 24, 2024

The build source job executes dpkg-buildpackage --source to run the clean target and then build the source package. Policy 7.7 says that only the Build-Depends and Build-Conflicts fields must be satisfied when the clean target is invoked, so do just that.

Since apt build-dep currently does not have a "--clean-only" option behaving like "--arch-only" and "--indep-only", I've used dpkg's perl API to reliably extract Build-Depends and Build-Conflicts from the control fields. This can be cleaned up after https://bugs.debian.org/1021342 is fixed.

Should improve #187 (closed).
