Guys, I am still confused about my initial question when which binary-* target in debian/rules is called.
This also concerns: - http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ch-dreq.en.html#s-rules - http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#s-debianrules which seem to be out of sync. The policy e.g. still refers to the patch target whereas in the NMG it is not mentioned. Maybe one should remove that section from NMG altogether and just leave the reference to the policy manual (it had better be in one place only and should be up-to-date). <sidenote> <pedantic> While reading the NMG I see "build: ... pre-build configuration" "binary: ... all that is necessary for the user to build the binary package(s) ..." When I translate this to the usual things to be done for getting a software installed, we have build <-> ./configure binary <-> make install <-> make install Why not give this as an example? Talking about "building" everywhere and not showing what this means just confuses the beginner. (Or maybe I'm looking at the wrong documentations.) </pedantic> </sidenote> But back to topic: my main motivation here is to find out about the binary, binary-arch, binary-indep targets, when they are called, and where this is documented.
