Package: debhelper
Version: 5.0.56
Severity: wishlist
Once again, I file this bug with some advance to planify how debhelper
will handle the new dpkg-gensymbols command that will be available with
dpkg 1.14.8.
Libraries will have the possibility to provide "symbols" files along with
"shlibs" files. The symbols files are generated by dpkg-gensymbols
with an invocation like this one:
dpkg-gensymbols -p<package> -Pdebian/<package>
This command does nothing if the package doesn't contain any library.
However the command is really useful only if the maintainer provided
some "seed" files, either debian/<package>.symbols.<arch>, or
debian/symbols.<arch>, or debian/<package>.symbols or debian/symbols.
So maybe the call to dpkg-gensymbols could be conditioned to the existence
on one of those files.
dpkg-gensymbols support additional options, most notably "-e" to
explicitly list the libraries to scan instead of looking in all public
library directories. The option "-c[0-4]" also enables various levels
of checks and defaults to 1. So it's probably nice to offer a way for the
caller to pass/alter those options.
In theory, it could be integrated in dh_makeshlibs (as it does the same
work of creating the dependency information for later usage by
dpkg-shlibdeps) but it might be better to create a new dh_gensymbols for
it. This is up to you I guess.
You can try out all this with the dpkg 1.14.7~newshlib from experimental.
