2011-03-15 Thread Joey Hess
I've searched the lintian lab for debhelper config files containing ${ -- found none. Now, when designing an interface like this, I like to try to think a little bit ahead. Will arbitrary environment variables being expanded in these files be abused? Will it make packages that are harder for

+++ Joey Hess [2011-03-01 11:49 -0400]: It does seem to me that it would be better to get basic support into debhelper generally w/o a v9. The kind of assurance I'm looking for is along the lines of scanning all debhelper config files in Debian to make sure none contain the new syntax somehow.

I don't feel that looking at the Contents file is good enough. Consider that some package might sed the files to expand ${..} on its own, somehow. I haven't tested the entire set of postinst scripts - this could be done, possibly on lintian.debian.org or similar. debhelper should not modify

Package: debhelper Version: 8.1.2 Multiarch support is (finally!) coming along nicely in both Ubuntu and Debian. (see https://launchpad.net/~vorlon/+archive/multiarch ) I'm not sure how closely you've been following the multiarch work, but it provides the ability to cleanly install libraries of
