Package: wnpp Version: unavailable; reported 2003-05-23 Severity: wishlist * Package name : debnest * License : GPL Description : Nested Build System of Debian Source Package
I'm writing a debian build system to create debian binary packages such that their original upstream sources include debian source packages. In build-time, this system unpacks their original debian source packages by 'dpkg-source -x' and propagates policy-defined targets of debian/rules to the unpacked build-tree. Description: Nested Build System of Debian Source Package Debnest provides a build system to create debian binary packages such that original upstream sources include debian source packages, i.e. .dsc and other files such as .orig.tar.gz and diff.gz, or .tar.gz. . This allows as follows: * Manage your own debian/ such as debian/rules, debian/control, debian/changelog and so on separately away from their original packages. * Create your own tuned packages with your own DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS, CC or something like that from their original packages without specifying environment variables. * Create your own tuned packages with applying pathces to their original sources as well as debian/* files separating them completely away from their original source packages. * Make it possible to redisribute debian binaries which restrict source-code from being distributed in modified form _only_ by the distribution of "patch files" with the source code for the purpose of modifying the program at build time. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux taru.local.valinux.co.jp 2.4.20-686 #1 Mon Jan 13 22:22:30 EST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=ja_JP.EUC-JP, LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.EUC-JP
