• Bug#999177: xfonts-base: missing required debian/rules targets build-ar

    From Lucas Nussbaum@21:1/5 to All on Tue Nov 9 22:50:08 2021
    XPost: linux.debian.bugs.dist

    Source: xfonts-base
    Version: 1:1.0.5
    Severity: important
    Justification: Debian Policy section 4.9
    Tags: bookworm sid
    User: debian-qa@lists.debian.org
    Usertags: missing-build-arch-indep

    Dear maintainer,

    Your package does not include build-arch and/or build-indep targets in debian/rules. This is required by Debian Policy section 4.9, since 2012. https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#main-building-script-debian-rules

    Please note that this is also a sign that the packaging of this software
    could benefit from a refresh. For example, packages using 'dh' cannot be affected by this issue.

    This mass bug filing was discussed on debian-devel@ in https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2021/11/msg00052.html .
    The severity of this bug will be changed to 'serious' after a month.

    Best,

    Lucas
