Package: debhelper Version: 13.8 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/dh_strip Dear Maintainer,
While running lintian against a ruby3.1 build, I was presented with an
error tag from lintian:
E: libruby3.1: unstripped-binary-or-object
[usr/lib/ruby/gems/3.1.0/extensions/x86_64-linux/3.1.0/debug-1.4.0/debug/debug.so]
N:
N: The package installs an unstripped binary or object file.
N:
N: Please note, that shared libraries have to be stripped with the
--strip-unneeded option.
N:
N: Please refer to Binaries (Section 10.1) in the Debian Policy Manual and
Libraries (Section 10.2) in
N: the Debian Policy Manual for details.
N:
N: Visibility: error
N: Show-Always: no
N: Check: binaries/debug-symbols
In dh_strip, I could find this:
# Is it a debug library in a debug subdir?
return if $fn=~m{debug/.*\.so};
return if $fn=~m{/guile/.*\.go$};
So, this is an heuristic for excluding debug libraries, but in this case
the shared library in question is a debugger extension for Ruby, and it
could be stripped just fine.
I understand this is a corner case, but it would be nice if I could pass
some option to ensure this checks could be avoided and the file in
question could be stripped, i.e. the reverse of the -X option.
