i'm trying to package curl. curl is tool to download anything from the net in all sort of ways (http, ftp, gopher, https). it comes also with ssl support, i can tell it to compile ssl support by a switch after ./configure.
in order to get both version i have to configure/make sources (for plain version), save somewhere plain binary and clean reconfigure/remake all (for ssl flavour). well, multiple binary packages support goes well when with a build you get all you need to make all binary packages. debstd (i hate it, it is stupid) wants to debianize all packages you are building *at once*. so when i build the first binary package (say the plain one) it tryes to debianize also the ssl one (which i have not even built yet!). <OT> i think debstd would be more friendly if it could care about a package at time, wouldn't it? </OT> moreover, dpkg-buildpackage wants to do "make build" and then "make binary". i can build a curl flavour at time. to do a binary package i must to have just built that flavour. i can't make both of them and then pack them. unless i have to copy all the source tree somewhere and proceed to parallel work. hmmm... have i to do a source packages for each flawour of curl? it sounds dull to me. any help is welcome to me thanks -----[ Domenico Andreoli, aka cavok <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --[ get my public pgp key at http://cavok.freeweb.org
