BTW, to avoid the possibility of mismatches, the debian/compat file has been replaced in debhelper 12 with a debhelper-compat versioned virtual package. So instead of depending on debhelper (>= 12~) you now depend on debhelper-compat (= 12) instead and delete debian/compat. Of course, you won't be able to use this since you need to support old releases, but at some point in the future this feature will make things simpler for you. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise

That should continue to work everywhere (until actually deprecated in debhelper). Ignore Lintian if it grumbles and only move it up when you are no longer supporting something that only has '8'. > And should the compat file be 11 in all cases? No, the compat file should match the dependency, and determines the actual behaviour of debhelper in the packaging. i.e. that's the important bit, and the control file dependency is just being set to match.

Build manually for all platforms? You still need different changelog entries for different platforms, and in many cases different build-deps, not to mention other packaging changes. > And should the compat file be 11 in all cases? compat shouldn't be higher than the debhelper version. -- WBR, wRAR signature.asc Description: PGP signature
debhelper versions
Hi, I am packaging a bunch of projects that are supposed to install on Ubuntu/Debin/Raspian preferable on as old versions as possible. I am trying to make scripts that make the packages automatically with pbuilder and I get a bit confused on how to handle the different debhelper versions. For example I have the dependency setting in the debian/control file. If I want it to work for raspian jessie i need to set this to debhelper (>= 8) On buster it is (>= 11) and on Ubuntu there is other versions etc. How do people handle this. Build manually for all platforms? And should the compat file be 11 in all cases? /Ake
