Hi, we are trying to create a build flavour for the suricata package [0], which we would like to link to hyperscan, which uses SSSE3.
I've read several docs in our debian wiki regarding build flavours, but I couldn't find any proper document which describes best practices. Currently, our main idea is to create a suricata-hyperscan package which includes the dependency to hyperscan, and the binary is build linked to the library. We distribute two /usr/bin/suricata binaries in two binary packages: * suricata, without hyperscan * suricata-hyperscan, with hyperscan Then, we conflict the packages with each other and dpkg-divert the /usr/bin/suricata file in suricata-hyperscan. I don't know if there is another approach which could be more recommended for this situation. Please, share your comments. best regards. [0] #846143 https://bugs.debian.org/846143
