Re: Setting build tags in dh-golang

[Michael Stapelberg <stapelberg@debian.org>]

You can find a few examples using https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=path%3Adebian%2Frules+tag+path%3Agolang, e.g. https://sources.debian.org/src/golang-golang-x-sys/0.0~git20181228.9a3f9b0-1/debian/rules/?hl=40#L40

In general, I would encourage you to nudge upstream to make the default behavior sensitive and only require build tags for unusual setups.

Also, please feel free to send documentation improvement pull requests :)

Hi,

I may be missing something obvious, but I'm looking for a way to set build tags in debian/rules.

While working on the github.com/containers/image library, upstream has advised me to avoid some dependencies by setting build tags. After reading the Debian::Debhelper::Buildsystem::golang perldoc it is not clear to me how to achieve this. (BTW, I would have expected lots of the information found in that perldoc to in the manpage dh_golang(1p).

Has this been done in other packages before where I could take inspiration from?

Thanks!
