Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.18.1 Severity: normal Hi,
when looking up if symbols could have tags (especially arch restrictions)
I first looked at dpkg-shlibdeps(1) which then directed me to deb-symbols(5):
The format for an extended shared library dependency information entry
in these files is:
library-soname main-dependency-template
[| alternative-dependency-template]
[...]
[* field-name: field-value]
[...]
symbol minimal-version [id-of-dependency-template]
This grammar doesn't allow tags so I gave up.
The correct information would have been in dpkg-gensymbols(1):
(tag1=i am marked|tag name with space)"tagged quoted symbol"@Base 1.0
(optional)tagged_unquoted_symbol@Base 1.0 1
untagged_symbol@Base 1.0
Please add (probably better move) this information to deb-symbols(5).
(I guess most of the background info should be moved to section 5.)
Thanks,
Christoph
