: I've been working on converting the gmp package to the new source format
: and adding shared libraries to the package at the same time. Since version
: tagging no longer takes place in debian/rules I have had to hard code the
: so version numbers into both the rules and the Makefile. I have looked
: through the new docs with no success (my index karma again probably). Is
: there a method of picking up this information from a central source in the
: package?
I think about doing somethink like an imaginary dpkg-substvars. It
should
* obtain the variables values from central cource
(debian/substvars) or from within the dpkg-* library
routines (see docs for available vars (e.g. ${Source-Version}))
and
* output the contents of a specified variable
to be uses like:
dpkg-substvars --print Source-Version
and/or
* filter (a la sed) and substitute varibles
to be used like:
dpkg-substvars <debian/shlibs >debian/tmp/DEBIAN/shlibs
What do you think about?
(Or have I missed such nice tool? (Having dpkg-1.3.14).
