Re: dpkg packaging problems
Hi, Shared libraries losing the executable flag is the correct behaviour, you s'shouldn't try to override that. -- Cheers, Andrew -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
dpkg packaging problems
Hi folks, I'm just packaging some library to various deb distros using pbuilder + git-buildpackage. Unfortunately, the .so's loose the +x flag in the package (while usual 'make install' is okay) - it seems that some of the dh stuff drops that flag :( maybe some of you guys might have an idea ? See: https://github.com/metux/fskit/tree/jessie/master https://github.com/metux/fskit/tree/trusty/master the build process is driven by: https://github.com/metux/packaging cu -- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consulting +49-151-27565287 -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

Hello Enrico, Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult [2015-01-02 16:52 +0100]: Unfortunately, the .so's loose the +x flag in the package (while usual 'make install' is okay) - it seems that some of the dh stuff drops that flag :( Yes, man dh_fixperms. Shared libraries don't need to and should not be executable. If you have a corner case where that's desirable, use -X to exclude those from permission fixes.

Is it a bug in gcc, or are there platforms where +x is required ? ld sets the flag, and I suspect this is because it can't tell the difference between a shared library and a PIE.
