exaile for Debian
------------------
Important notes when building this package:
This package can NOT be built as root or with fakeroot, because
1) exaile has a run-time check to prevent it from being run as root
2) help2man requires running ./exaile --help during the build process
in order to generate a manpage
3) when run as root (during the build), help2man fails to generate exaile's
manpage, causing dh_installman to issue an error, and the build fails as a
result
Therefore, without any configuration changes, building exaile using any one of
pbuilder/cowbuilder/sbuild (or other tools that emulate root) will cause exaile
to FTBFS.
To workaround this problem, set your preferred build helper/tool to NOT build
as root when building exaile. For pbuilder, the process is explained here:
http://pbuilder.alioth.debian.org/#nonrootchroot
Again, using pbuilder as an example, modify either /etc/pbuilderrc or
$HOME/.pbuilderrc to include the following config settings (any id/name
that's not root and not already taken can be used):
BUILDUSERID=1234
BUILDUSERNAME=pbuilder
And then proceed to build exaile by running "pbuilder --build <dsc-file>" or
running "pdebuild" from the source directory.
