Package: dpkg-cross
Version: 2.5.8
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
When resolving the "duplicate Provides" issue in a repository of
pre-built -cross packages, I've come across the problem that it's
difficult to generate packages with an increased version number.
It would be nice to have a way to append things to the version number,
both for the Version field and for equal-version dependencies (so -dev
packages can be transformed); the caller can be expected to provide a
list of packages where dependency versions should be mangled.
Use case:
- zlib1g-armel-cross and zlib1g-dev-armel-cross exist in version
1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3, with the "duplicate Provides" bug, and zlib1g-dev
declares a dependency on "zlib1g-armel-cross (= 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3)".
- User wants to build a version "1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3++dpkg-cross1" of both
packages.
- The resulting -dev package needs to declare a dependency on
"zlib1g-dev-armel-cross (= 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3++dpkg-cross1)".
- The dependency from zlib1g-armel-cross to libc6-armel-cross does not
need to be adjusted.
The user can then call
dpkg-cross -a armel --append-version "++dpkg-cross1" -b
zlib1g_1%3a1.2.3.4.dfsg-3_armel.deb
dpkg-cross -a armel --append-version "++dpkg-cross1"
--mangle-dependency-version zlib1g -b zlib1g-dev1%3a1.2.3.4.dfsg-3_armel.deb
Obviously, the option names are not ideal.

This only arose as a result of a different bug which is now fixed.

In the absence of any other reason to implement this functionality, I'm
closing the bug.
