[r=bac][bug=885497] Pass --allow-
Description of the change
Pass --allow-
At the moment, Launchpad runs a version of bzr-builder that converts *all*
non-native source packages to native packages.
Newer versions of bzr-builder support properly building non-native packages too,
and by default no longer convert non-native packages to native packages.
Instead, bzr-builder actually attempts to build a propery native package.
Since building a native package requires an orig tarball, most of the
existing builds on Launchpad can't actually be built as a non-native package.
And because they're daily builds, it makes more sense to build them as
a native package too. The reason some try to build a non-native is
because they inherit their packaging data from Debian or Ubuntu packages.
Passing --allow-
behaviour of converting non-native packages to native packages,
but only if no upstream tarball was found.
This will need to be deployed together with the new version of bzr-builder,
which is already available in the cat archive,
as old versions don't have the --allow-
Thanks for the nice explanation -- looks good.
