| rizzitello | I have a debian packaging question. If I have an app that uses a library that has no install canadate can i add its build steps into the debian/rules file ? | 17:36 |
|---|---|---|
| cjwatson | rizzitello: It would be more usual to package the library as well and then build-depend on it. | 17:47 |
| cjwatson | (You *can* do more or less whatever you like in debian/rules or in programs it calls as long as they don't require network access or root, but the above is the usual approach.) | 17:48 |
| cjwatson | It also depends on how the app and library in question are distributed by the developers. Normally each separate unit of upstream distribution gets its own packaging. | 17:49 |
| rizzitello | cjwatson: I'm really trying to avoid the debian dir in my library | 17:52 |
| cjwatson | It doesn't have to be in the library. Packaging is often (even usually) a separate branch on top. | 17:52 |
| cjwatson | Anyway, I've answered your question, what you do from here is up to you :) | 17:52 |
| rizzitello | thanks cjwatson | 17:53 |
