Package: dh-exec
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
Please consider adding some way to filter if a particular rule
should be executed based on the architecture it is being built on.
14:04 < algernon> ie, lines prefixed with [amd64, i386, kfreebsd-*] would only
get executed for those arches
This would be really useful when eg. foo.install and foo.install.linux
are mostly a duplication of each other. Duplication is bad.
Would be better to be able to have one file where one install rule
is conditional.
Current best way to do this that I've found is to use blurbs like these in
debian/rules:
ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_ARCH),xyz)
install ....
endif
This is easier to maintain then duplication, but appart from quickly
cluttering up the rules file it also has negative effect on --list-missing.
Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
