Howdy all,
What is the recommended way to specify packaging for a library package
and its corresponding debug symbols package?
With a previous Debhelper (7.x), I could specify it with ‘debian/rules’
in the ‘install’ and ‘override_dh_auto_install’ target:
install: build
dh $@
override_dh_strip:
dh_strip --dbg-package=foo-dbg
With the current Debhelper (in version 8 mode), that fails to put the
files in the right place AFAICT. I am now resorting to this less-elegant
solution:
install: build
dh $@ --package=foo --exclude "*_d.so"
dh $@ --package=foo-dbg
override_dh_strip:
dh_strip --dbg-package=foo-dbg
That's a step backward, because if I need more packages, the ‘install’
rule starts to grow more special cases, defeating some of the
auto-detect features of Debhelper.
For reference, the actual package in question is ‘python-coverage’. See
my current packaging work with ‘debcheckout python-coverage’, where I've
implemented the above change as of revision 105.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a significant change in Debhelper
behaviour that I've overlooked, proiding a neater way to do this?
