Package: debhelper Version: 7.4.15 Severity: wishlist Currently, if we wish to skip build-indep part for buildd, existing override_dh_auto_build need to use wacky shell script with DH_INTERNAL_OPTIONS. This is not so intuitive nor elegant.
I think this situation can be easily avoided by providing similar function as override_dh_auto_* but ones only activated when each command is called with -i or -a from dh command. So for dh_auto_build, there should be 3 overrides. override_dh_auto_build override_dh_auto_build_indep override_dh_auto_build_arch This way, we can write custom iexception build script easily which can work well on our system and which does not stress buildd with big tex-live process for documentation. I realized this while updating maint-guide to use new dh rules :-) http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/index.en.html Osamu -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages debhelper depends on: ii binutils 2.20.1-5 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii dpkg-dev 1.15.5.6 Debian package development tools ii file 5.04-2 Determines file type using "magic" ii html2text 1.3.2a-14 advanced HTML to text converter ii man-db 2.5.7-2 on-line manual pager ii perl 5.10.1-11 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-base 5.10.1-11 minimal Perl system ii po-debconf 1.0.16 tool for managing templates file t debhelper recommends no packages.
