Package: dh-golang
Version: 1.12
Severity: normal
Hello Michael,
I've recently received Bug#814488 against go-mtpfs, which is a package
providing a binary /usr/bin/go-mtpfs. I've used dh-golang to build
it, and debian/rules basically says:
export DH_GOPKG := github.com/hanwen/go-mtpfs
%:
dh $@ --buildsystem=golang --with=golang
(It was created using dh-make-golang.) I've included run-time
dependencies on the relevant -dev packages which go-mtpfs requires in
order to build the package, since the source is included in the binary
package.
But actually, this doesn't seem to make so much sense: the package
*user* only requires the binary /usr/bin/go-mtpfs. It would be better
to split the package into two packages: go-mtpfs containing just the
binary, and go-mtpfs-dev which contains the Go source code. I can
hack the debian/rules file to achieve this, but it would seem to make
sense to have a more general solution, as this is unlikely to be the
only package of this nature.
So perhaps something like --buildsystem=golang-bin in these cases, and
that places the source files in the -dev package?
Best wishes,
Julian
