Dear list,
We are about to push the new lirc to stable. As-is, the package declares
a dependency on systemd and thus rightfully fails to build on kfreebsd
platforms. This is a pity since the core software lirc builds fine at
least on FreeBSD 10.3.
However, lirc contains all sorts of systemd stuff: tweaks in
rules/dh_auto_install, systemd configuration files, one or two tools.
The configure script copes with all this and builds a different set of
files on freebsd.
I'm now trying to wrap my head around how to conditionalize a packet
such as lirc. I'm coming from Fedora/RPM and used to just spread some
%ifarch in the spec file. Now, is something similar possible in debian?
In particular:
- How can I handle that kfreebsd should install a different set of files?
- Is it possible to conditionalize the rules file w r t platform?
- If so, how?
Cheers!
