Hi all, This year, we have received two requests to move some files that are currently shipped in a -doc-html package to another package:
- https://bugs.debian.org/922707 requests moving the .tags file to -dev. - https://bugs.debian.org/933597 requests moving the examples-manifest.xml file and associated images to -examples. These bugs are really not specific to qtbase or qt3d, so we should consider them as affecting all Qt submodule packages. The problem =========== TL;DR: We can only ship these files in an Architecture: all package. All files that are currently shipped in -doc or -doc-html are generated by qdoc, which is built from qttools-opensource-src package. As that package build-depends on qtwebkit, all Qt source packages up to qtwebkit [1] can *not* build-depend on qdoc-qt5 when building architecture-dependent packages, as that would create a B-D loop. So qdoc-qt5 can be only in Build-Depends-Indep. As a consequence, files generated by qdoc can be only in Architecture: all packages. [1]: qtbase, qtdeclarative, qtwebsockets, qtwebchannel, qtsensors, qtlocation The questions ============= 1) Should we create new Architecture: all packages (like qt*-doc-dev), to contain the .tags and examples-manifest.xml files? 2) If yes, should it contain both these files or only one of them? Also should we do it for all submodules, or only for those 6 modules listed above? 3) If no, should we make qt*-dev or qt*-examples recommend qt*-doc-html? Note that if the answer is ‘yes’, then we would need to do from 6 to ~30 uploads to NEW. (This is why I lean towards ‘no’.) -- Dmitry Shachnev
