Re: dbgsym package in d/control?



Hi,

2016-04-22 13:37 GMT+02:00 Tim Dengel <tim.dengel.debian@gmail.com>:
 am currently preparing version 0.2.0-1 of my package gnome-twitch, and
I have a question about automatically generated dbgsym packages: Do I
need to list the -dbgsym package in debian/control?

you should not.
 
According to the wiki at https://wiki.debian.org/DebugPackage I need "no
additional changes to your source package", but I saw that the package
openhpi lists the dbgsym packages in the control file, and the dbgsym
packages from that source package are also the only ones I see when I do
"aptitude search dbgsym".

openhpi is wrong. dbgsym packages should be in solo archive (http://debug.mirrors.debian.org/debian-debug/)

I also get a warning when I'm building my package: "dpkg-genchanges:
warning: package gnome-twitch-dbgsym listed in files list but not in
control info"

So can I ignore this warning and will the dbgsym package be available in
the archive when my package is uploaded or do I need to add the dbgsym
package to debian/control?

i think you should not add it to d/control and ignore this warning.
