two different packages with the same source tarball/name

Hi, is it possible to have two different binary packages with the same source package name (but different upstream versions of the source)? Reason: I'm about to package octave-forge for both Octave 2.1 and 2.9 (you can consider octave-forge as plugin, that needs to be compiled for the respective

Problem with really long argument list to dpkg-shlibdeps

Hi, [no need to CC me, I'm subscribed]. I'm trying to package Octaviz and I'm running into problems with dpkg-shlibdeps. The package generates around 1000 binary modules/plugins. Running dpkg-shlibdeps over these files makes for really weird errors[1], due to the length of the command line passe

Packaging a library -- looking for documentation

Hi, I maintain Octave in Debian. My upstream will switch to using libtool in the next major release (ETA of that release is unknown, but somewhen in 2010). In order to not screw up too badly, I'm looking for documentation on developing/packaging libraries (both from a developer's view and a mai

How to maintain a large symbols file of a C++ library

Hi, I'm in the process of converting Debian's Octave packages into a structure with proper library packaging. The symbols file of these three C++ libraries has about 30k lines. I'm pretty new to symbols handling, so I'm looking for advice on how to handle this. Is there a simple way to reduce t

Overwriting binary files when building a package

Hi, my upstream ships documentation in PDF format in the normal sources. Upon build, I re-create those files[1]. The newly generated PDF files differ from the originally shipped ones. So, I have a problem asserting that "debian/rules clean" gives me the same source tree as "dpkg-source -x" which

Symbols and C++ inline constructor

Hi, I have a question about an inline constructor and debian/symbols. The code looks like this: class X { public: X() { some code }; } According to http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Inline.html, this means that the constructor is inlined. So, can I mark such a constru

Finding the correct alignment for all architectures

Hi, I am maintaining lcms2. In #749975, I received a patch to ensure correct alignment for doubles von MIPS. I have forwarded the patch upstream[1], but in the latest release, upstream has chosen a different way. It is now possible to configure the alignment via a preprocessor variable CMS_PTR_ALI

Thanks guys, I went with _Alignof(double), which interestingly aligns to 8 bytes on amd64. Thomas
