Background: I want to create another binary package from gtksamba, which is currently build without gnome support. The new binary package would have gnome support and would Conflict with and Provide gtksamba and would be called gtksamba-gnome.
The only difference between the packages is that one would be build with the flag '--without-gnome' passed to configure, whille the other one doesn't. The target 'build' does not really apply in the debian/rules because there is no generic building instructions that can be done without calling the specific configure script first. Also, it doesn't make sense to have a generic 'install' target because this requires a particular build as a prerequisite. Therefore, I intend to leave out 'build' and 'install' from the list of targets provided by the debian/rules, and only provide the following targets: clean: binary-indep: binary-arch: binary: gtksamba: gtksamba-gnome: source diff: The $64K question is... is this okay? Are there any auto-building scripts that depend on the existence of the 'build' and 'install' targets? Which targets are manatory? -Mitch
