I'm not found of it too, but this appeared to be the most handy solution.If someone installs lazarus-src, he shall be able to compile packages as he wants and the lpk files shall be marked AsNeeded.However, if for some reason, one don't install them, like auto builder, or any other use because for example lack of disk space, then lpk files need to be marked Manually build only.I personally have a Debian Buster running on my phone (UserLAnd app) and there I don't want Lazarus to force installing sources. > > The other option is that that post install script of lazarus-src looksfor > > the installed lpk-files and modifies them, but this is probably anunwanted > > behavior, especially that some lcl-units may be installed afterlazarus-src > > installation. > > And that's even less pretty.

That ain't pretty, but it's at least consistent with howpeople expect > Debian to install files. That is upstream philosophy with the all in one deb package, but as I explained above, this is not compatible with low disk space devices.Also for an auto builder, that probably is not going to use Lazarus IDE but only lazbuild, I don't like to install tons of MB while one needs only a few ones. For information, installing Lazarus on the phone polled 1.7GiB (includign FPC and other dependencies) which I consider not very nice. > Paul > By the way, I think the postinst and preinst shouldn't have beencommitted to > git, right? They're generated during package build. My bad, yes indeed these are automatically generated. I confused with the debian/control file, but now realize they don't have the same constraint as the one.I'm going to remove them. -- Cheers, Abou Al Montacir
