Source: boost1.67
Version: 1.67.0-10
Severity: normal
Hello!
Currently, the debian/rules file of the boost1.67 package contains the
following code in the override_dh_auto_build target:
ifneq (,$(filter nodoc,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)))
mkdir -p doc
else
$(JAM_DOC) --build-dir=build-doc doc
endif
This means that the building of the documentation is toggled through the
status "nodoc" build flag. This means, however, that the documentation is
always built even when it is not used for the doc package which is only
built when sbuild is called with "--arch-all" to build both the arch:any
and arch:all targets. This means, the buildds are wasting CPU time for
generating documentation which is later just thrown away since the doc
package is not being created.
To fix this, I propose using the override_dh_auto_build-indep and
override_dh_auto_install-indep and override_dh_auto_build-arch and
override_dh_auto_install-arch to build documentation and binary-specific
files in separate targets.
For example:
override_dh_auto_build-indep:
$(JAM_DOC) --build-dir=build-doc doc
override_dh_compress-indep:
dh_compress -Xlibboost$(PKGVERSION)-doc/doc
override_dh_auto_install-indep:
# package libboost-doc
mkdir -p
debian/libboost$(PKGVERSION)-doc/usr/share/doc/libboost$(PKGVERSION)-doc
cp -a doc
debian/libboost$(PKGVERSION)-doc/usr/share/doc/libboost$(PKGVERSION)-doc
# provide a constant symlink to the latest documents and examples
dh_link -plibboost$(PKGVERSION)-doc \
usr/share/doc/libboost$(PKGVERSION)-doc/doc \
usr/share/doc/libboost-doc/doc
dh_link -plibboost$(PKGVERSION)-doc \
usr/share/doc/libboost$(PKGVERSION)-doc/examples \
usr/share/doc/libboost-doc/examples
Would be great if the change could be included in the next upload and
for all other boost1.XY packages.
Thanks,
Adrian
