[Pkg-puppet-devel] Backporting to squeeze

[micah]

Hi all,

I tried my hand today at backporting for squeeze-backports the updated
version that is in wheezy to fix the security issue. However, I was
unsuccessful and I'm not sure why. If you have any ideas, I'd be
interested in hearing them.

Basically, we know that the puppet-testsuite binary package can't be
built on squeeze-backports, I removed it the last time we did the
backport, but after removing that gem2deb still tries to run test suites
and fails because of:

-I/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/gem2deb/test_runner.rb
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/gem2deb.rb:57:in `system': can't convert nil into String (TypeError)
	from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/gem2deb.rb:57:in `run'

	from /usr/bin/dh_ruby:73:in `<main>'
dh_auto_install: dh_ruby --install /home/micah/debian/backports/puppet/puppet-2.7.23/debian/tmp returned exit code 1
make: *** [binary] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2

I tried to add export DH_RUBY_IGNORE_TESTS=all, but that didn't seem to
make it work. 

Any ideas how to work around this? It would be a shame to leave those
poor squeeze people in the dark ages, even though everyone should
upgrade ;)
