How about we do this the opposite way round, where we have a kerneloops-daemon package, and the kerneloops package depends on it? That way, people who upgrade from current kerneloops lose no functionality, and new installs who want to get rid of the applet can just install kerneloops-daemon? > (I also submitted this patch to this Ubuntu bug: > <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kerneloops/+bug/337757>) > > -Tim Abbott > From 439668b7c0b40ac60455b2cf1989ca29051de8e5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 > From: Tim Abbott <tabb...@ksplice.com> > Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2009 11:10:05 -0400 > Subject: [PATCH] Split the kerneloops package into kerneloops and > kerneloops-applet. > > Signed-off-by: Tim Abbott <tabb...@ksplice.com> > --- > debian/control | 8 ++++++++ > debian/kerneloops-applet.install | 3 +++ > debian/kerneloops.install | 2 ++ > debian/rules | 6 ++++-- > 4 files changed, 17 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > create mode 100644 debian/kerneloops-applet.install > create mode 100644 debian/kerneloops.install > mode change 100644 => 100755 debian/rules > > diff --git a/debian/control b/debian/control > index 0e93c6a..3de12ca 100644 > --- a/debian/control > +++ b/debian/control > @@ -14,3 +14,11 @@ Description: kernel oops tracker > kerneloops is a daemon that collects kernel crash information and then > submits the extracted signature to the kerneloops.org website for > statistical analysis and presentation to the Linux kernel developers. > + > +Package: kerneloops-applet > +Architecture: any > +Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, kerneloops > +Description: applet for the kernel oops tracker > + The kerneloops applet allows the kerneloops crash reporting utility > + to ask a desktop user for permission before submitting an oops report > + to the kerneloops.org website. > diff --git a/debian/kerneloops-applet.install > b/debian/kerneloops-applet.install > new file mode 100644 > index 0000000..3850712 > --- /dev/null > +++ b/debian/kerneloops-applet.install > @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ > +debian/tmp/usr/bin/kerneloops-applet /usr/bin > +debian/tmp/usr/share/kerneloops /usr/share > +debian/tmp/usr/share/locale /usr/share > diff --git a/debian/kerneloops.install b/debian/kerneloops.install > new file mode 100644 > index 0000000..cb7f717 > --- /dev/null > +++ b/debian/kerneloops.install > @@ -0,0 +1,2 @@ > +debian/tmp/usr/sbin/kerneloops /usr/sbin/ > +debian/tmp/usr/share/man/man8/* /usr/share/man/man8/ > diff --git a/debian/rules b/debian/rules > old mode 100644 > new mode 100755 > index dfe7ee3..ebf8678 > --- a/debian/rules > +++ b/debian/rules > @@ -27,8 +27,10 @@ install: build > dh_installdirs > > # Add here commands to install the package into debian/<packagename> > - $(MAKE) DESTDIR=`pwd`/debian/`dh_listpackages` install > + $(MAKE) DESTDIR=`pwd`/debian/tmp install > install -D -m 0755 kerneloops.init > `pwd`/debian/kerneloops/etc/init.d/kerneloops > + dh_install -pkerneloops > + dh_install -pkerneloops-applet > > # Build architecture-independent files here. > binary-indep: build install > @@ -41,7 +43,7 @@ binary-arch: build install > dh_installchangelogs > dh_installdocs > dh_installexamples > - dh_installinit -o > + dh_installinit -pkerneloops -o > # dh_installdebconf > # dh_installman kerneloops.8 > dh_link > -- > 1.6.3.3 > -- Matthew Wilcox Intel Open Source Technology Centre "Bill, look, we understand that you're interested in selling us this operating system, but compare it to ours.
