Hi Marcin, I'm planning on splitting the *_dbg directories out into their own packages. Including runtime libraries from /usr/lib/$ARCH/*_dbg/ in the -dev package wasn't very popular.
I'm still working out the details, but it should be more or less like this (using libpmem as an example): libpmem1: continues as is libpmem-dev: no longer includes /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nvml_dbg; has small patch to manpages explaining that nvml_dbg is in a new package in Ubuntu systems libpmem1-debug: ships /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nvml_dbg/lib*.so.* libpmem-dev-debug: ships /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nvml_dbg/{lib*.a,lib*.so} and requires libpmem1-debug Is the separate dev package necessary? I.e., do you need the special debug library build when linking with your applications and wanting the extra logging? Or can apps keep linking against the normal library, and just set LD_LIBRARY_PATH when they need extra logging? I assume the latter, so the dev-debug package wouldn't be necessary. Enjoy your holidays. I'm off on Friday (March 30th) but back on Monday. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1752378 Title: Please add Userspace Packages for NVDIMM support To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1752378/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
