Hello Niels,
Oh sorry, I lost my initial mail and had to rewrite it and wasn't careful
enough. I meant execute_before_dh_installman and not
execute_before_dh_install.
Concerning your remark about DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS, it is populated automatically
with the value of the DEB_BUILD_PROFILES as displayed in the output of dpkg-
buildpackage. At least for nocheck & nodoc.
You can try with https://salsa.debian.org/bastif/mount-zip
Latest commit includes execute_before_dh_installman
For now, as a workaround in that target, I added a test on whether build
profile has "nodoc" set. But if you remove that "ifneq...", and build with
"nodoc" it will still invoke both dh_installmal &
execute_before_dh_installman. However, if one doesn't have pandoc installed
(eg because the "nodoc" build profile doesn't require it as dependency), that
target will fail because it is invoked, while I expected it to be skipped.
If you wish to check with that package, I suggest you also build with
"nocheck", because there is a test that takes a lot of time.
Regards
Fab
