I wonder if you'd not be better off using something like dh_compress -X htmltree , to make it just not act on anything in whatever directory your html and associated files are in. It would have no effect on the other packages. Or for finer control you could use a debian/package.compress file, although that's probably overkill. -- see shy jo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: debhelper "I have no package to build"
Hi, In response to the two replies, John H. Robinson, IV is correct to point out that HTML files are excluded from compression by default. I didn't realise that. In the case at hand, however, the HTML tree has more than .html files: it includes programming examples in .cpp files, for instance. Compressing those broke browsing. Since I'm the first to do this deliberately, according to Joey Hess, I'll simply continue using "|| true".

It's almost always a mistake. I think you're the first person to do this on purpose. -- see shy jo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

debhelper "I have no package to build"
Hi, I regularly use the template debian/rules file /usr/share/doc/debhelper/examples/rules.multi2 that has binary-indep and binary-arch rules that both use a single binary-common rule. The binary-common rule has lots of dh_* stuff there, including dh_compress. I decided that compressing the HTML files would be a bad idea, so I modified it to skip that one package using dh_compress -Nlibboost-doc However, the binary-indep rule sets DH_OPTIONS=-i before building binary-common meaning that there is *no* package for dh_compress to act upon when "binary-indep" is invoked. The build dies with the complaint of the subject line. After puzzling this out, I worked around the problem using dh_compress -Nlibboost-doc || true to ignore the error. Surely this is not the first time someone has run into this. Am I doing something silly? It seems a bit odd to make the "no package to build" diagnostic a fatal error. Thanks, -Steve P.S.
