Just build the dpkg and ignore supposed changes to the source
Extra note
Happy new year!
Main content
My normal, local dpkg build process includes debuild -us -uc. I push my finished work up to the Devuan build server through a gitea issue on the relevant project repository.
Sometimes, when I'm still in the process of preparing the software (in this case, freeipa 4.9.8), I will do a local build to make sure it still compiles. And sometimes I get a ridiculous error from debuild:
The solution is to skip debuild and use the lower-level command:
dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc
The answerer on Ask Ubuntu described this step as "avoid[ing] the Debian bureaucracy," which is an incredibly apt phrase.
