Re: dh_strip --dbg-packages=pkgname uses native objcopy



Hello Raphael, Nikita,

First of all, I have just started working again with the new dpkg-cross
releases, and they seem to be a very big improvement over the previous ones.
(I forgot to state that earlier)

Indeed I forgot that diverting is not the ideal solution..

Yes I also remember this. (That is why I put it last and used ...) I remember
we could not convince the maintainer why it was a bad idea...

I do not know exactly how the strip thing was solved, but thinking of
diversions having a wrapper script for objdump is not what we want either...

I do not know how much work this would be, but what about piping transparantly
all the commands through a script that replaces all the offending commands
with the correct options? The biggest problem to me seems to be actually find
out when the commands are emitted...

regards,

Philippe
