mwhudsonhuh maybe glib really is causing a regression here https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/s/sbd/groovy/amd6409:56
xnoxdoko:  so gcc-10/binutils are next? but when can i do libffi? or shall we wait on response from upstream?09:58
dokoxnox: binutils 2.35 already is in groovy. gcc-10 is not related. which soname do you want to use?10:04
xnoxdoko:  .so.8 and bash upstream to bump it to .so.9 if they break it between now and going forward.10:05
xnoxdoko:  that is take current git snapshot and roll with it.10:06
dokono, that would assume a decision on upstream. either don't bump the soname, and change the package name to libffi7-1, or bump it to 80, and change the package name to libffi8010:08

seb128mwhudson, could be really buggy but it seems it has been forced hinted now...10:58
Laneywhoops, I hinted and then unhinted it, guess I was too late with that10:58
Laneybut there was another retry since which also failed, sooooo10:59
xnoxdoko:  but upstream master has bumped soname12:48
xnoxdoko:  so their master is 8, and package name should be libffi8. I guess i want it to be explicit, so should email them.12:49
ahasenackrbasak: hi, I have a packaging question12:54
ahasenackrbasak: when adding a d/<package>.maintscript file to a package that has, let's say, just d/postinst12:54
ahasenackbut not the other d/postrm, d/prerm, etc files12:55
ahasenackI suppose I have to add them with the #DEBHELPER# marker, so that dpkg-maintscript-helper can do its job?12:55
rbasakIIRC, you don't.12:55
rbasakdebhelper will create the ones that don't exist12:55
dokoxnox: it's not a release, you don't know if it will change until the release12:55
rbasakEasy enough to verify in the built deb, but I'm pretty sure12:55
ahasenackrbasak: hm, create when? At build time, and ship in the binary?12:56
rbasakAt build time, into the binary - without changing the source12:56
ahasenackthanks, I'll verify12:58

xnoxahasenack:  postinst will be installed into the main package regardless of whether it has a #DEBHELPER# marker or not.13:12
ahasenackxnox: postinst is fine, I was wondering about the others that dpkg-maintscript-helper would need to touch, if they don't exist in the source package13:12
xnoxahasenack:  for example people omit that marker on purpose, to prevent from debhelper injecting its snippets, because they are too large / have deps not avialable / are borken / etc.13:12
xnoxahasenack: if you create .maintscript it's enough, it is smart.13:13
ahasenacknice13:13
cjwatsonYou definitely don't need to add empty files with #DEBHELPER# markers, indeed.13:13
cjwatson(Otherwise-empty, I mean)13:13
ahasenackthat's what I was wondering about, if I had to add the "template" files with #DEBHELPER#13:13
xnoxahasenack:  note that postinst is _an override_ / complete replacement.13:13
xnoxahasenack:  and #DEBHELPER# is like "but yeah, please ressurect the stock snippets"13:13
cjwatsonahasenack: This is documented in debhelper(7) - please read13:14
xnoxand put them on this line please.13:14
cjwatson"Automatic generation of Debian install scripts"13:14
ahasenack"If a script does not exist at all and debhelper needs to add something to it, then debhelper will create the complete script." <-- that settles it, thanks13:15
