Hello All.
In my package (opencpn) there are couple of binary files
without source code/with unfree license that is required
only for OS X and Windows builds (those are some dlls and
redistributable files).
Upstream does like to keep them in original tarball and in
the git version control system and I obviously get lintian
warning about them.
What is the proper way to handle this?
I created a simple script that does "tar --exclude ..." and
creates opencpn_2.4~611.orig.tar.gz out of upstream git
repository.
However I look to be havong some problems with quilt due to
this when I try to use pdebuild:
dpkg-source --before-build opencpn
fakeroot debian/rules clean
dh clean
dh_testdir
dh_auto_clean
dh_clean
dpkg-source -b opencpn
dpkg-source: info: using source format `3.0
(quilt)'
dpkg-source: info: building opencpn using
existing ./opencpn_2.4~611.orig.tar.gz
dpkg-source: warning: file
opencpn/buildwin/NSIS_Unicode/CopyNSISUnicodeRegKey.bat
has no final newline (either original or
modified version)
dpkg-source: error: cannot represent change to
opencpn/buildwin/NSIS_Unicode/nsis-2.46-Unicode-setup.exe:
binary file contents changed
dpkg-source: error: add
buildwin/NSIS_Unicode/nsis-2.46-Unicode-setup.exe
in debian/source/include-binaries if you want to
store the modified binary in the debian tarball
dpkg-source: warning: file
opencpn/buildwin/NSIS_Unicode/Include/UAC.nsh
has no final newline (either original or
modified version)
Looks like this is due to quilt trying to record those
changes as an automatic debian-changes patch that I
certainly does not want. Any way to say it ignore this?
Another option is to use pbuilder --build
opencpn_2.4~611-1.dsc, but for that I will need
debian.tar.gz to be generated some way.
Any suggestions?
