build-client-packages not working as expected

[arnaudmorin]

Description

I try to use build-client-packages to build deb package.

It seems, it's used somewhere (or by someone) with a docker builder here:
https://github.com/percona/pmm/blob/main/build/scripts/build-client-deb

But the script seems not the one in the repo (https://github.com/percona/pmm/blob/main/build/scripts/build-client-packages)
because running it with the same parameters exits with "There is no source for build"

bash /src/build/scripts/build-client-packages --builddir=/tmp/pmm --build_deb=1
...
There is no sources for build
+ exit 1

If I try to build using get_sources:

bash /src/build/scripts/build-client-packages --builddir=/tmp/pmm --build_deb=1 --get_sources=1
...
+ git clone https://github.com/Percona-Lab/pmm-submodules.git
fatal: destination path 'pmm-submodules' already exists and is not an empty directory.

Something is wrong, I suspect the script used is not the one in the repo

@arnaudmorin Unfortunately, this script is only intended to run on our infrastructure :(

That said, we do have plans to make it possible for the community to build PMM locally, but we are not there yet :)

BTW, since we release deb packages as well, did you try to go that route? You can read more in our docs: https://docs.percona.com/percona-monitoring-and-management/setting-up/client/index.html#debian-based.
