(https://gitlab.com/leamas/opencpn/-/merge_requests/1) The MR tidies up d/rules (removing the need for override_dh_auto_install) by replacing the logic with declratavie syntax: - installing the manpages not via dh_install but with dh_installman. - using dh_link to build the symlinks to the GPL licenses needed by the programm. - be more accurate in d/*install what to install - use the possiblity to move files around in d/*install - specify the files not to be installed. (d/not-installed) Regarding the licenses symlinked: Are they acutally used. grep did find nothing for me… In this case, the file d/opencpn.links should be removed Please review the changes to the (not-)installed (especially d/opencpn-dat.ionstall as you know whether the programm expect those. (After a simply grep I assumed it does not.) Please note that there will be an build error I left intentionally: It does not install CoC-909_2013-InlandECDIS_20170308s.pdf because this file is a file - without source (and so also not built from source) - unclear license (I don't think that is under a DFSG license… Is it distributeable?) atm it looks like it needs to be removed via Files-Excluded. Also no d/changelog entries; left for you to be done… (I do _not_ need credit for those!) So far for now…
