Package: debhelper
Version: 8.0.0
Severity: wishlist
For cases where an app uses some libs via dlopen, the dependencies for those
libs have to be manually added to control file. I want to be sure I'm using
shlibdeps mechanism to get the proper dependencies for those libs. Here's an
example of what I currently do in a debian/rules file.
override_dh_gencontrol:
dh_gencontrol
# Manually add lib dependencies
LIBSOMELIB1_DEPENDS=$$(cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/libsomelib1.shlibs | \
sed
's/^[^[:space:]]\+\?[[:space:]]\+\?[^[:space:]]\+\?[[:space:]]\+\?\(.*\)$/\1/')
sed "s/^Depends:.*$$/&, $(LIBSOMELIB1_DEPENDS)/" \
-i "debian/$(SOME_PACKAGE)/DEBIAN/control"
LIBSOMELIB2_DEPENDS=$$(cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/libsomelib2.shlibs | \
sed
's/^[^[:space:]]\+\?[[:space:]]\+\?[^[:space:]]\+\?[[:space:]]\+\?\(.*\)$/\1/')
sed "s/^Depends:.*$$/&, $(LIBSOMELIB2_DEPENDS)/" \
-i "debian/$(SOME_PACKAGE)/DEBIAN/control"
...
It would be great if debhelper could make this easier, perhaps making use of
${misc:Depends} in control file, or something similar.
