[04:47] <chatter29> hey guys
[06:15] <Logan> Unit193: looks like jbicha already did it
[07:33] <Unit193> Yep, so I saw.
[19:23] <karstensrage> hi all
[19:23] <karstensrage> i had a question about a philosophy wrt packaging
[19:24] <karstensrage> could the upstream Makefile build the source and create modules (executables, libraries, modules, etc.) but not "install" it
[19:24] <karstensrage> and the packaging take care of installing it?
[19:24] <karstensrage> so the upstream might have a readme about how you "could" install it
[19:24] <karstensrage> but wouldnt do it for you
[19:25] <karstensrage> i already have some debian packages that are in xenial and trusty (thank you profusely)
[19:26] <karstensrage> but im thinking of changing them so the upstream (building) and packaging (installing) are separate as well as adding a new package which really lends itself to that philosophy
[21:05] <rbasak> karstensrage: that's basically how debian/rules works already, no?
[22:59] <karstensrage> rbasak, i thought maybe the packaging used the upstream to figure out how to install things
[23:30] <rbasak> karstensrage: ah. Yes, usually it does. You can override that though.
[23:42] <karstensrage> ok so if i changed how en existing package works due to changing upstream
[23:42] <karstensrage> is that ok
[23:42] <karstensrage> ?
