"Unknown option: buildsystem" error

[tomduck]

I have installed stdeb 0.6.0 from sources on a debian Lenny system. When running the provided test.sh, I get an "Unknown option: buildsystem" error after "dh clean", followed by an abort. The full output of test.sh is given below.

Thanks for your efforts on stdeb. I hope to use it to build numpy and friends for a few of the different architectures I need.

Thanks,
Tom

Use the "--force-buildsystem=False" option to disable passing the option. I will investigate why I had True as the default and see if it can be changed.

Thanks for the incredibly quick feedback!

I made the recommended changes to test.sh, ran the script, and "All tests passed". The universal diff for test.sh is given below for reference.

Cheers,
Tom

Hi,

Sorry to be a pain -- I'm new here -- but I'm not sure why this report is closed. I don't see any new commits to github, so the original problem still exists.

Cheers,
Tom

I didn't think I closed it. Maybe some github weirdness or maybe my fault for pressing the wrong button. Now I can't seem to re-open it...

Note that some packages fail to build when using "--force-buildsystem=False". It happens when a Makefile is present next to the setup.py. The "makefile" buildsystem would be selected in that case.

The list of alternative buildsystems:

autoconf             GNU Autoconf (configure)
perl_makemaker       Perl ExtUtils::MakeMaker (Makefile.PL)
makefile             simple Makefile
python_distutils     Python Distutils (setup.py)
perl_build           Perl Module::Build (Build.PL)
cmake                CMake (CMakeLists.txt)
ant                  Ant (build.xml)
qmake                qmake (*.pro)

As of now (40b3704), I'm not seeing this issue on Debian wheezy. Please re-open if you are still having trouble.
