Re: Custom packages derived from Debian Source Packages
Erik Schanze schan...@gmx.de writes: Hi mentors, I have a question regarding repacking and hope you could give me some suggestions. I'd like to run a special x86 based device with Debian. I could use most of the common Debian packages, but I have to repack some of them for the use on this device. The packages will be provided and maintained for the devices on a special repository server. First I have to repack Linux kernel package to apply a custom configuration and additional patches. I see 2 possibilities. 1. Change the config and add patches in Linux source package, bump the Version with an epoch and build the binary package for my platform. Upgrades with Debian kernel packages should be prevented by the epoch. But the custom source and binary package has the same file name as the Debian ones, so you could not see that it is different easily. Not good. While unlikely Debian could add an epoch and then you back to your problem again. Also people could install your kernel on their no myDevice hardware. From the package name it would be unclear that you altered the config. 2. Extent the Linux source package with a new binary target for my platform e. g. linux-image-2.6.26-2-686-myDevice, but then I have to deal with Linux meta packages also (like linux-image-2.6-686 and linux-image-686). That is much better in my opinion. For compiling speed and archive side reasons you probably want to also remove the other config from your linux-2.6 source. No need to have a bunch of usefull kernels in your archive that would only confuse users. Second I have to repack some packages to remove some files from the package, because 3rd party software provides these files also and I have to prevent a clash. I have to repack these packages without these files, depending on a package with the 3rd party software which has the (adapted) files. I see the 2 possibilities above also. Or is there any other (better) way? A while back, at an emdebian meeting in spain, we worked out a draft for DEB_VENDOR, which would allow you to submit a patch to Debian that would for example drop those files if DEB_VENDOR=myDevice was specified. I haven't seen much about it implementation wise since but that was what we came up with as best solution to your kind of problem (The problem of vendors needing a subset of Debian compiled a little bit differently). But I'm not sure a couple of duplicate files need that really. Why not have the 3rd party packages add a Replaces: debian-package-with-file or use dpkg-divert? I'm a bit lost to find a way which is compatible to Debian archive and packages that are easy to maintain and to follow Debian versions (mostly security fixes). You should set up a sync script that fetches new sources and an autobuilder that compiles them with any patch you have for the source. Ubuntu has experience with that so maybe they can help. Hope anyone could help. Kind regards, Erik MfG Goswin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

On the htdig package
Dear all, only a few days ago an NMUdiff I had published in BTS against Htdig got accepted. It aimed at solving the RC-bug 'dir-or-file-in-var-www'. I did not realize at the time that Htdig had been orphaned for four years now and has been living on QA-uploads ever since. Now I am initiating a study of possible solutions for the entries on the bug list for that package. However, I understand as of yester- day that KDE predepends on Htdig, but I do not use KDE (prefering Openbox and Windowlab myself). Therefore I would appreciate a hint or two as regards to the use that Htdig finds within KDE-environments. Such knowledge would aid me in not polluting the system with new bugs after resolving any issues within Htdig. There are recent bugs filed against Htdig that express identical flaws that also I see, but did not address in the NMU-attempt. It is not that I a priory intend to adopt Htdig, but that I would like to restore its capacities and my inexperience tend to make me stand in awe before the phrase QA Upload! The popcon figure for Htdig is two magnitudes larger than for any of the packages I have touched so far. My best regards, -- Mats Erik Andersson, fil. dr signature.asc Description: Digital signature

It is possible to do (I just did it today for something internal,
actually), but it's kind of a pain since the helper scripts don't have any
real support for it. I did:
override_dh_gencontrol:
dh_gencontrol
perl -i -pe 's/^(Version:).*/$$1 $(VERSION)/' \
debian/kpropd/DEBIAN/control
perl -i -pe 's/^(kpropd_)[^_]+/$${1}$(VERSION)/' debian/files
to override the binary version late in the build process. This seems to
basically work, although reprepro will reject the upload due to the
version mismatch (not a problem with DAK, I think). I suspect there may
be an easier way, but the obvious approach of putting a Version header in
the binary package stanza in debian/control does *not* work; Version is
ignored there.
Needless to say, you really don't want to do this unless you absolutely
have to for some reason.
