Subject: packaging-manual: dpkg 1.6.5 will reorder symlinks for you
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
X-Mailer: bug 3.2.7
Package: packaging-manual
Version: 3.1.1.1
Severity: normal
Currently section 12 (shared libraries) of the packaging manual states:
[.....] Futhermore, and _this is very important_,
the library must be placed before the symlink pointing to it in the
`.deb' file. This is so that by the time `dpkg' comes to install the
symlink (overwriting the previous symlink pointing at an older version
of the library) the new shared library is already in place. Currently
the way to ensure the ordering is done properly is to install the
library in the appropriate `debian/tmp/.../lib' directory before
creating the symlink, by putting the commands in the `debian/rules' in
the appropriate order. Whether this has been done correctly can be
checked by performing an `ls -f'.
This text is not always correct, since it highly depends on the
behaviour of the filesystem. Some filesystems (such as reisefs) will
reorder the files so it doesn't matter in what order you create them.
To support this Adam Heath wrote a path for dpkg-deb that will make dpkg
itself reorder files when creating a package. That patch will be in dpkg
1.6.5.
The packaging manual should be updated to reflect this.
Wichert.
