Package: libdpkg-dev Version: 1.19.2 Tags: patch Please see the patch in my follow up email.
Ubuntu uses pkgbinarymangler by default to do several different tasks to packages. Test Case ------------- I'd like to disable the png optimization when using sbuild to build Ubuntu packages to speed up local test builds. So I add this to my ~/.sbuildrc $ENV{'NO_PNG_PKG_MANGLE'} = '1'; Currently, dpkg doesn't allow that environment variable to be passed through so I would have to make this change in debian/rules directly. I don't want to do that since it's fine for the official builds to have that png optimization done. Other Info ------------ This is partially documented at http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/pkgstriptranslations http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/pkgmaintainermangler Unfortunately, there is no manpage provided for pkgstripfiles which is the source of the two specific environment variables: NO_PNG_PKG_MANGLE & NO_DOC_PKG_MANGLE Thanks, Jeremy Bicha
