Hi everyone, can please someone help me with packaging gwaei, I get some warnings/errors from lintian I don't udnerstand. The layout as installed by libtool/configure/make/make install is In /usr/lib: libwaei.a libwaei.la libwaei.so -> libwaei.so.1.0.0 libwaei.so.1 -> libwaei.so.1.0.0 libwaei.so.1.0.0
Running lintian I get: W: gwaei: package-name-doesnt-match-sonames libwaei1 E: gwaei: non-empty-dependency_libs-in-la-file usr/lib/libwaei.la W: gwaei: non-dev-pkg-with-shlib-symlink usr/lib/libwaei.so.1.0.0 usr/lib/libwaei.so Ok, the first one is like that, I don't want to package this lib independently, as it is only used by gwaei itself by now. The second one, the error, is the most cryptic one. The lintian info is as useful as ...*§$&§/$... - N: The in itself .la file may be useful, if the library is loaded N: dynamically via libltdl. This is not English, "The in itself ..." ???? - N: Refer to http://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/LAFileRemoval, N: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2011/05/msg01003.html, and N: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2011/05/msg01146.html for details. First link does not exist Second link does not exist Third link is just a warning that bla bla will break multi arch (bug report already filed against lintian) Any suggestion what should be done here?
