[Sugar-devel] Problem packaging toolkit

[James Cameron]

I've checked, and po/LINGUAS does contain ach.  The problem is caused
by bzr builddeb running the check-po target of the Makefile, which
currently fails like this;

host:sugar-toolkit-gtk3$ make check-po
*** ach missing from po/LINGUAS ***
Makefile:859: recipe for target 'check-po' failed
make: *** [check-po] Error 1

You're welcome to fix this target.  See Makefile.am.  The failure is
unrelated to packaging and can be reproduced easily.  I don't plan to
fix it before the next release.

The guide you refer to is for packaging new software for
Ubuntu, whereas the Toolkit is existing software from Debian that
Ubuntu has adopted without change.

Use the Debian source package instead.  You can get it from Ubuntu as
a source package using `apt source`, or `dget` the dsc from
packages.ubuntu.com.  Change the version in debian/changelog and
substitute the new source tar.xz file.
