Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.15.5.6 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/bin/dpkg-gensymbols
Hello, It would be nice if dpkg-gensymbols had an option to generate a diff if there were new/lost symbols in the symbol file but NOT to fail in that case then. Unfortunately, -c0 does not even try to generate a diff. Imagine a source package building 18 library packages all with arch specific symbol files (using arch tags) and dh_makeshlibs failing on the first "lost" arch specific symbol (very likely yet-to-be marked optional) on the buildds. Highly inefficient because I would like to get patches for all 18 library packages in the single buildd run. What about allowing e.g. -c-1 (does not look very nice visually though)? -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=lt_LT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=lt_LT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages dpkg-dev depends on: ii base-files 5.1 Debian base system miscellaneous f ii binutils 2.20-5 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii bzip2 1.0.5-4 high-quality block-sorting file co ii dpkg 1.15.5.6 Debian package management system ii libtimedate-perl 1.2000-1 collection of modules to manipulat ii lzma 4.43-14 Compression method of 7z format in ii make 3.81-7 An utility for Directing compilati ii patch 2.6-2 Apply a diff file to an original ii perl [perl5] 5.10.1-9 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-modules 5.10.1-9 Core Perl modules ii xz-utils 4.999.9beta+20100117-1 XZ-format compression utilities Versions of packages dpkg-dev recommends: ii build-essential 11.4 Informational list of build-essent ii fakeroot 1.14.4-1 Gives a fake root environment ii gcc [c-compiler] 4:4.4.2-3 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-4.1 [c-compiler] 4.1.2-27 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-4.3 [c-compiler] 4.3.4-6 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-4.4 [c-compiler] 4.4.3-1 The GNU C compiler ii gnupg 1.4.10-2 GNU privacy guard - a free PGP rep ii gpgv 1.4.10-2 GNU privacy guard - signature veri Versions of packages dpkg-dev suggests: ii debian-keyring [debian-mainta 2009.11.04 GnuPG (and obsolete PGP) keys of D -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
