There are situations when some of the libraries listed in Build-Depends are optional i.e. build system is smart enough to avoid failure when such library is missing. Often some development libraries are not available on all architectures in which case maintainer should know beforehand which architectures may satisfy this dependency and maintain an up-to-date list of architectures for such packages, like in the following example: Build-Depends: libchamplain-gtk-0.12-dev [!m68k !sh4], libopenipmi-dev [!hurd-any !arm] From time to time such lists should be re-checked in case library become available on another architecture or when new architecture is added or if package is removed from some architectures. Another challenge is backporting package if some of its optional build dependencies may not be available on target distribution. For instance "libchamplain-gtk-0.12-dev" is not available for Squeeze so backporting would require removing it from Build-Depends. Finally maintainer might want to mark optional dependencies as such (can be done with comments). All the above problems may be addressed by using this package as alternative to optional build dependency like in the example below: Build-Depends: libchamplain-gtk-0.12-dev | optional-dev, libopenipmi-dev | optional-dev --- End Message --- --- Begin Message --- Closing as not feasible.

Dimitry, which specific problem were you trying to > solve when you came up with optional-dev? Thanks Paul, primarily I was trying to address a problem when package build unnecessarily fails due to lack of "optional" dependency before an actual attempt to build. Due to risk of FTBFS maintainer should be careful with introducing dependencies that are non-critical for upstream build. In this case, enabling optional feature by adding dependency may make package build more fragile and create some difficulties for backporting as distinguishing required build-dependencies from optional ones may be not obvious. Now it became clear that idea is not feasible because it creates more problem than it solves. Thanks to feedback from Adam, Neil, Brian, Arno, Guillem, Simon, Geregor, Bastian and others I can summarise the flaws in the idea: * buildd servers can't fall back to alternative so even if we can avoid FTBFS in pbuilder by providing a trivially satisfiable fallback dependency, that is not the case for our build servers. * Rarely some packages may be not available for build due to transition, breakage or other circumstances. With silent fallback instead of FTBFS package may suddenly and unexpectedly lost some of its functionality. * NMUs are not guaranteed to be the same as original package due to possibility of missing optional dependency packages in the environment where NMU is being prepared. > > But I see the use case, e.g. for packages that rebuild the > > documentation if some tool is available and just skip it gracefully > > and use the shipped version, if not. > > We have the bootstrap stuff for that: > > http://wiki.debian.org/DebianBootstrap Very interesting, thank you.

Hello Jendrik I know there are already a lot of music player inside Debian but pogo is the only one who satisfies by need for a folder/file based GUI music player. Also this questions: http://superuser.com/questions/326471/is-there-a-folder-only-based-music-player-for-linux show some interest for this kind of media players. I would be happy to see Pogo packaged in Debian, if you have the packaging already done in your ppa, could maybe submit a source package in http://mentors.debian.net/ ?

Hi Rodolfo,
thank you! I think i'm really done now. We need a new release. :)
I've updated the README and added some paragraphs about wbar-config and
make-conf.sh and removed some old lines and cleaned up a little. Patch
is attached, let me know what you think about it.
Forget about my suggestion to reintroduce the old icons. Although i know
about the original authors now, it is much easier if i handle a default
configuration by myself within the Debian system. It also makes the
source package of wbar smaller and easier to maintain if you don't have
to bother with external ressources.
I've checked the fonts again and indeed, it seems wbar will start anyway
even without a correct font path. Done!
I've discovered another typo in wbar-config (licence -> license) and the
version of wbar-config should be updated to 2.3.2 for your next release)
And it was necessary to patch Makefile.am in the pixmaps folder to copy
wbar.png to the right place again. Patch is attached.
Last but not least: The COPYING file states that Wbar is licensed under
the GPL-2+ (the + is important) which means you grant everyone the right
to redistribute and modify wbar either under the GPL-2 or any later
version. I personally think that's a good idea, but i wanted to ask
again if that's your intention. If yes, great, no changes are needed but
i guess you should change the license on the official homepage, too.
That's all for now
Regards
Markus

Builds need to be reproducible so that when there needs to be an NMU it does not rebuild with different options merely because something extra has been installed. DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS exists for that support. Conditional builds are a bad idea. Specify the functionality for each arch and ensure that a later build does not change the functionality. This is where auto-detection in ./configure is also a bad idea - packages should ensure that dependencies which are auto detected are always available where supported via Build-Depends and [$arch], even using Build-Conflicts if necessary. > When building for as many architectures as we have, situation when some > dependencies are missing (or can't exist) on some architectures is not rare.

Maintenance is not easier if builds at a later date give a completely different package. "Optional build-dependencies" are best supported via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS so that if the same options are always given, the build always prepares the same package whatever else is installed on the system in question. That is the only way to ensure that someone can safely do an NMU on the package months after the last maintainer upload. -- Neil Williams = http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ pgpeLbtnNB9CK.pgp Description: PGP signature

Not at all, it may appears "self contradictory" only because debian/control "language" doesn't have a right term for it. Or perhaps my wording is not perfect. If you got the idea, can you suggest a better word? Imagine a software that builds without a certain -dev package. When present this package may be used to activate an additional (optional) feature. When building for as many architectures as we have, situation when some dependencies are missing (or can't exist) on some architectures is not rare. However we still want to build our packages with all features possible. So here are two ideas -- one is to clearly see which build-dependencies are optional i.e. which packages are not critical for successful build; and another is to nicely and easily handle unsatisfiable non-critical "dependencies". The latter will make maintenance easier and may also be helpful for backporting or even for distributions who borrow our packages but may not have all their build-dependencies.

Bug#687001: ITP: optional-dev -- fake (empty) dev package
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-CC: debian-de...@lists.debian.org Package name: optional-dev Version: 20120908 Author: Dmitry Smirnov License: GPL-3+ Description: fake (empty) dev package Purpose of this package is to provide an alternative for optional build dependencies which may not be available on some architectures. There are situations when some of the libraries listed in Build-Depends are optional i.e. build system is smart enough to avoid failure when such library is missing. Often some development libraries are not available on all architectures in which case maintainer should know beforehand which architectures may satisfy this dependency and maintain an up-to-date list of architectures for such packages, like in the following example: Build-Depends: libchamplain-gtk-0.12-dev [!m68k !sh4], libopenipmi-dev [!hurd-any !arm] From time to time such lists should be re-checked in case library become available on another architecture or when new architecture is added or if package is removed from some architectures. Another challenge is backporting package if some of its optional build dependencies may not be available on target distribution. For instance "libchamplain-gtk-0.12-dev" is not available for Squeeze so backporting would require removing it from Build-Depends. Finally maintainer might want to mark optional dependencies as such (can be done with comments). All the above problems may be addressed by using this package as alternative to optional build dependency like in the example below: Build-Depends: libchamplain-gtk-0.12-dev | optional-dev, libopenipmi-dev | optional-dev -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
