But I don't have that issue. See my previous reply. Probably it's - as you say here ... > The Conflicts you added seem to work for most upgrade paths (by causing > removal and reinstallation of libreoffice-dev-doc, but not in cases ... a issue not showed in "real life" installs :) But yes, that was the plan. And works at least in my tests (libreoffice-dev and libreoffice-dev-doc) installed. :) > So here comes my proposed solution to fix this whole mess: > > Has ./usr/share/doc/libreoffice-dev-doc/ ever been something else than a > directory? I don't think so. No, it explicitely was exluded from --link-doc= > Lets consider the locations > ./usr/share/doc/libreoffice-dev-doc/docs > ./usr/share/doc/libreoffice-dev/docs > as "burned" and recovering them from possible nested symlinks will be > nearly impossible. So let's move the tree away from there, e.g. to > ./usr/share/doc/libreoffice-dev-doc/devdocs > (important: this directory must have never been used before) > Is the location /usr/share/doc/libreoffice-dev-doc/docs used anywhere? Well, no. the "canonical" upstream place is <sdk dir>/docs, which is /usr/lib/libreoffice/sdk/docs (which right now is a symlink.) The symlink is because upstreams make install (un)helpfully installs them in /usr/share/doc/libreoffice (!) - it's docs after all - and we ourselves move it just to a different package. And create the /usr/lib/libreoffice/sdk/docs link. > * it's the target of the api link, that can be changed easily yeah, > * are there more uses or could we just drop it completely from the package? theroretically it can be moved. /usr/lib/libreoffice/sdk/docs would result in a new symlink_to_dir conversion, though, too > Can you give me some hints how to speed up building libreoffice > packages, since all I'm interested in testing maintainer script changes ... Except DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="lang=en-US" to just build english and skip translations - not really. (and parallelism which is determined automatically). You also can disable the -dbg and -subsequentcheck packages (BUILD_DBG_PACKAGE and BUILD_TEST_PACKAGE) in rules. At least the first one takes a big time to be created ;) And of course you should do debuild -b -nc on second and further attempts (maybe after rm debian/stampdir/install*) to not needing to rebuild it completly.
