xrdp 0.9+master build fail on Debian Jessie

[ccwang002]

I tried the devel branch of X11RDP-o-Matic with following command,

$ sudo ./X11rdp-o-matic.sh --branch master --withsimplesound --withpulse --justdoit
# ... skipped

cp: cannot stat ‘NEWS’: No such file or directory
dh_installdocs: cp -a NEWS debian/xrdp/usr/share/doc/xrdp returned exit code 1
debian/rules:22: recipe for target 'binary' failed
make: *** [binary] Error 2

It seems that without NEWS file the xrdp package build process fails, therefore no xrdp*.deb will be produced. How should I create such NEWS file?

Also I found the thread neutrinolabs/xrdp#190 about Debian Jessie systemd script not being produced. Will this be another potential failure?

I think this diff should fix it:

I've pushed the fix to devel branch.
@ccwang002, can you test it?

[ccwang002]

I don't have a Jessie machine with me right now. Can test it next week. If anyone can help, feel free to take over.

I confirmed the build on Jessie in #61.
