In some corner cases, however, some parts of CDBS +sometimes needs a few tweaks to work optimally. + +This is a collection of such tweaks. The goal is for these tweaks to be +absorbed into upstream CDBS. We just haven't found time yet to discuss +them at the CDBS developers' mailinglist. And possible we do not all +agree that the tweaks are so great - therefore this "staging area". + +If you found this file below debian/ subdir in a source package, most +probably only a subset of the below mentioned tweaks are relevant and +have been shipped with the package. The repository of all these tweaks +is here: svn://svn.debian.org/build-common/people/js/overlay/ + +Web access: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/build-common/people/js/overlay/ + + + +New buildinfo rule +------------------ + +See package description for "buildinfo" for more info. + + + +Improved support for multiple compilations +------------------------------------------ + +Create and clean builddir _after_ resolving per-package DEB_BUILDDIR. + +Honour per-package DEB_BUILDDIR in makefile and autotools classes. + +Support multiple build flavors in makefile and autotools classes. + + + +Various improvements to python-distutils class +---------------------------------------------- + +Use full path to Python interpreter (Python Policy section 1.3.2). + +Add CDBS_BUILD_DEPENDS to old policy method. + +Fix CDBS_BUILD_DEPENDS in new policy methods to only depend on debhelper +when actually used. + +Fix DEB_PYTHON_SIMPLE_PACKAGES sometimes installed twice (and only one +of them honouring DEB_PYTHON_COMPILE_VERSION). + +Unify install path using new DEB_PYTHON_DESTDIR. + +Quote install path. + + + +New python-autotools class +-------------------------- + +Handle autotools-based Python packaging. + + + +New python-sugar class +---------------------- + +Handle packaging of Sugar activities. + + + +New copyright-check rule +------------------------ + +Refuse to build if the source is found to contain different copyright +info than earlier builds. + + + +New kernelpatches rule +---------------------- + +Small wrapper around dh-kpatches, taking care of build-dependencies too. + + + +New routines for handling upstream tarball +------------------------------------------ + +Rules and variables to help downloading, validating and repackaging +upstream tarball. + +Implements the rules print-version and get-orig-source commonly used +for group-maintained packages with Debian-specific patches maintained in +SVN or some other VCS, and automated fetching virgin upstream tarball +(possibly massaged after download e.g. to strip non-DFSG material). + + + +Support for custom BTS info +--------------------------- + +Include BTS control info found in debian/*.bts files, or alternatively +redirect bug reports to the email address defined in DEB_BTS_EMAIL. + + + +New dict class +-------------- + +Rules for packaging ispell, aspell, myspell and wordlist dictionaries. |
