But if you prepend /usr/lib/$LIB/vogl/ to LD_LIBRARY_PATH and then set LD_PRELOAD to vogl.so (or whatever, rather than the absolute path) then you effectively get it for LD_PRELOAD, too :) The only edge case I can think of that this would break is where the tracee itself prepends a path containing a _different_ vogl.so to LD_LIBRARY_PATH; that seems like a pretty unlikely confluence of events. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: How to provide support for -i386 utilities within -amd64 packages?
Hey Carl,

I'm interested in packaging (or helping to package) several programs
and
libraries related to OpenGL, (such as apitrace, vogl, fips, and
waffle).
For each of these packages I have a question about best practices
related to supporting 32-bit libraries and binaries within a 64-bit
system.
Imagine a package (waffle-utils, say) that installs a program
(/usr/bin/wflinfo, say) that reports some information about a library
(libGL.so, say) against which it is linked.
So on either an -i386 or an -amd64 system, a user could install the
native package, run the program, and query the native library.
But now imagine a user with an -amd64 system that has an alternate
-i386
library provided by a multilibs package (such as
libgl1-mesa-glx:i386).
It would be useful for such a user to have both the native 64-bit
program and a 32-bit program available at the same time, (to be able
to
query either library).
For this use case, would I make a separate waffle-utils-32 package
targeted for -amd64 but containing a 32-bit /usr/bin/wflinfo-32 that,
other than the name, would be identical to /usr/bin/wflinfo as
contained
in waffle-utils:i386?
There are similar issues with apitrace, vogl, and fips where a 64-bit
wrapper program will be invoked on a target OpenGL application. Then,
depending on whether the target program is 32- or 64-bit, the wrapper
will need to load a 32- or 64-bit library provided by some dependent
package.
For apitrace we ended up using the $LIB dynamic expansion to let the
dynamic loader handle this itself
(https://github.com/apitrace/apitrace/pull/177).
That's presumably applicable to fips and vogl also.
On the packaging side you just split the wrapper objects into their own
packages, (cf: [1]).
This doesn't help with package dependencies, though. Ideally installing
apitrace-gl-frontend:amd64 would also install
apitrace-gl-tracers:{all-the-enabled-foreign-archs}. I don't think
there's any
way of specifying that relationship at the moment, though.

Assuming your email address I guess so. Yes. Til cornered me in Dublin and persuaded me to do the packaging for colord. :) > What is the state of this effort? colord is essentially ready to go; I'm just checking the polish at this point. After that a number of printingish packages need to be rebuilt with colord support, and the new version of gnome-color-manager can get built. > Has an (alioth) team be formed to > maintain colord and related packages? > There aren't really many related packages, or at least not related packages that don't already have a better home - the closest one would be gnome-color-manager, which is already in pkg-gnome. I was planning to maintain it with Till Kamppeter and Martin Pitt in the printing team. I could be persuaded to make a dedicated team if that's what's wanted.
