Package: cdbs
Version: 0.4.32
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
I wish cdbs' gnome.mk or maybe a more central place such as
debhelper.mk would prevent installation of dangerous stuff, such as
generated data. One example of this is #346062 where capplets-data
shipds /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache which is generated at
build time but should only be generated at package installation time.
(The consequence is that people might get an empty
/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache and borken debsums)
Please add a protection against this, some ideas:
DEB_DH_INSTALL_ARGS += -Xmimeinfo.cache
DEB_MAKE_INSTALL_TARGET += XDG_CACHE_HOME=debian/tmp/tmp
Perhaps other files would be appropriate to list here.
Cheers,
