[Letsencrypt-devel] Bug#806532: FTBFS on jessie

[Daniel Pocock]

Package: python2-pythondialog
Tags: patch

I wanted to try the letsencrypt package on jessie so I tried to build
python2-pythondialog and it fails.

It seems to need gnulib added to the build-deps

The setup.py needs to be patched (see attached)

In setup.py, last_commit_in_ch_init seems to be wrong, needs to be reviewed

Maybe this program is not installed on your system. You can download it
from:


http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=blob_plain;f=build-aux/gitlog-to-changelog

Note: if you have problems with the infamous shell+Perl crap in the
first lines
of that file, you can replace it with a simple shebang line such as
"#! /usr/bin/perl".
