Re: How to tell cdbs to work only on 2 out of 7 debs in debian/control?
Here, by defaults, it builds 7 debs: A_i386.deb through G_i386.deb.
I only want 1st and 6th debs: A_i386.deb and F_i386.deb. I have tried setting
DEB_ALL_PACKAGES and its arch sisters to A F. For some reason,
it still does not ignore the other 5, and fail. The failure is due to
make: *** No rule to make target `binary-post-install/B', needed by
`common-binary-post-install-arch'. Stop.
dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2
/usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk has
common-binary-post-install-arch:: $(patsubst
%,binary-post-install/%,$(DEB_ARCH_PACKAGES))
But I have set DEB_ARCH_PACKAGES to not include B.
I can also see that all 7 directories debian/A ... debian/G get created. I
think they
shouldn't. I expected only debian/A and debian/F directories.
Is this likely a bug?

Generally it will build all packages that should be built (e.g. all arch
packages or all binaries with dpkg-buildpackage -B and -b respectively).
I am not sure cdbs has some way to alter this, but if you looking for a
way to only do something for a certain binary package, then you can use
its hook targets.
I cannot remember all of them, but as I recall they are:
install/pkg::
binary-install/pkg::
binary-fixup/pkg::
binary/pkg::
Have a look at /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk and look for things
like:
$(patsubst %,binary-install/%,$(DEB_ALL_PACKAGES)) :: binary-install/%:
It might be possible to modify the definition of DEB_ALL_PACKAGES and
its sister variables, but if dpkg-buildpackage -B and architecture
settings cannot satisfy your needs, it might be worth reconsidering the
approach.

How to tell cdbs to work only on 2 out of 7 debs in debian/control?
debian/control of the nut source package has about 7 binary debs,
say A ... G. They are built using cdbs. What should I put in debian/rules in
order to build only A and B?

CFLAGS='-g -O2 -O2'; dpkg-buildflags; dpkg-architecture -q switch.
Consider the duplication of the O2 flag in CFLAGS='-g -O2 -O2'. It is taken from the dpkg-buildpackage part of https://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=nutarch=i386ver=2.4.3-2stamp=1293189087file=logas=raw . That duplication is repeated after wards in each compilation line. 1. Can I use dpkg-buildflags in order to set the initial value of CFLAGS to an empty string, ? How? 2. Does the wishlist for dpkg-buildflags to add a -q switch, similar to the one that dpkg-architecture have, reasonable? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Which files will be recorded within DEBIAN/conffiles?
I have a Debian source package. By inspecting its content, how can I tell in advance which files will be recorded within DEBIAN/conffiles? Are there documents or URLs that discuss that question? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org Archive: http://lists.debian.org/405478.45189...@web120711.mail.ne1.yahoo.com
An old version of a conffile is not in the current deb. Yet is is listed locally.
Some time ago, the extlinux package has renamed a conffile:
/etc/kernel/post{inst,rm}.d/extlinux - /etc/kernel/post{inst,rm}.d/zz-extlinux.
That is, a zz- prefix was added to basename.
Indeed, http://packages.debian.org/sid/i386/extlinux/filelist mentions only
zz-extlinux. I have the latest version installed. In my case, dpkg -L
mentions both zz-extlinux and extlinux. Is this a bug? (Only zz-extlinux
is mentioned in /var/lib/dpkg/info/extlinux.conffiles.) It might worth
saying that in the past, I modified the extlinux conffile, which is probably
the reason that I also have extlinux.dpkg-dist.
If I will remove the old conffile (extlinux), will dpkg notice?
