Hi,
after waiting 3 years for a fix and running inbetween oldoldstable
version of Exim4 I managed today building a new exim4-daemon-custom
package from current stable source package.
There are two steps necessary to build custom packages:
1) uncomment custom packages in debian/control
2) in file debian/rules copy the line
'cp EDITME.eximon $(<D)/Local/eximon.conf'
from rule 'b-exim4-daemon-light/build-$(buildname)/exim:
b-exim4-daemon-light/Makefile configure-stamp'
to rule 'b-exim4-daemon-custom/build-$(buildname)/exim:
b-exim4-daemon-custom/Makefile configure-stamp'
I included a full patch of my changes to 'debian' directory.
I do not know the whole Debian package build process. It seems not so
relevant what in the 'extradaemonpackages=' line is specified. It seems
that all packages from debian/control files are built. Even if I remove
the 'exim-daemon-heavy' from 'extradaemonpackages=' line, the 'heavy'
packages are built anyway. I suppose this is the reason why the 'custom'
packages are commented out there.
So I suggest the following solution for the problem:
1) Let the custom packages in debian/control commented out but add a
comment in debian/rules that these lines have to be commented out to
build 'custom' packages.
2) Add the line mentioned above to debian/rules.
Finally I suppose that the mechanism using
'debian/create-custom-package' to create additional packages not named
'-custom' will not work anymore. There are now hardcoded rules for
custom packages inside debian/rules.
BR
Marko
