Re: Packaging lerc

[Sebastiaan Couwenberg <sebastic@xs4all.nl>]

With the recent changes the package is almost ready for upload.

The summary of liblerc-dev is not that great, the package name already 
makes it clear that it's the -dev package. Using something like:

 Limited Error Raster Compression library (Development files)

would be better. Similarly for python3-lerc which could be improved to 
use something like:

 Python 3 bindings to the Limited Error Raster Compression library

See geographiclib for example.


With the SOVERSION patch applied upstream, the second patch might be 
forwardable as well. The first can be marked as Applied-Upstream.

Hardcoding the SONAME in _lerc.py is fragile, using the result of 
ctypes.util.find_library() should be better.


To improve the readability of the rules the overrides should be ordered 
to match the execution:

 override_dh_auto_clean
 override_dh_auto_configure
 override_dh_auto_build
 override_dh_auto_test
 override_dh_auto_install
 override_dh_makeshlibs

Kind Regards,

Bas
