[04:56] <OvenWerks> Eickmeyer[m]: re, installing man pages... It seems we install studio-controls.1 in man1/ but if I look at the installed file it is studio-controls.1.gz
[04:58] <OvenWerks> Eickmeyer[m]:  so how did it get from one to the other? There is mention of a mandb command, is that what happens? or is there something else?
[04:59] <OvenWerks> I guess for that matter, if the text is still the same the .gz doesn't matter. Does the man command do the actual formatting?
[05:00] <OvenWerks> I guess it doesn't matter
[05:00] <OvenWerks> Eickmeyer[m]: I think I have answered my own question
[05:02] <OvenWerks>  if I just install the raw text the system may at some later time gz it. So I just have to make sure the uninstall command removes studio-controls.*
[05:07] <OvenWerks> OK, so mandb does not seem to compress the file does some other debtool do that?
[14:06] <RikMills> FYI, Qt 5.15 is probably going to starting landing in proposed later today
[14:17] <Eickmeyer[m]> OvenWerks: Yeah, debhelper does the compression automatically for any manpages it finds.
[14:17] <Eickmeyer[m]> RikMills: Good news!
[16:10] <OvenWerks> Eickmeyer[m]: in controls, the lib dir has gone... err well moved to usr/lib
[16:10] <Eickmeyer[m]> OvenWerks: Sounds good, should be an easy packaging change once we get to it.
[16:11] <OvenWerks> make install will put everything in /usr/local by default but the usual parameters will put it in /usr... but for deb that is probably not needed because everything is in a tree already
[16:12] <Eickmeyer[m]> Only thing is that if dh sees a makefile it'll try using it.
[16:13] <OvenWerks> a makefile saves me having to deal with command line parameters
[16:15] <Eickmeyer[m]> Honestly, it shouldn't matter so long as everything ends up where it's supposed to. In the case of dh, it should throw the build into debian/studio-controls, which should get picked-up easily.
[16:15] <Eickmeyer[m]> TL;DR: I don't think it'll be a factor
[16:16] <Eickmeyer[m]> In fact, it might even eliminate the need for d/studio-controls.install
[16:17] <OvenWerks> It does try to create links where needed
[16:17] <Eickmeyer[m]> Which eliminates the need for d/studio-controls.links (if we even have it).
