Bug#1023614: libdvd-pkg: split builder from provider package and more
Package: libdvd-pkg
Version: 1.4.3-1-1
Severity: wishlist
Hi.
AFAIU, right now we have libdvd-pkg, which is both:
- the package building the actual packages
- a "provider" package (for libdvdcss2 and libdvdcss-dev)
I think this removes quite some flexibility and it would be nice
to have these split up (or maybe, the provider functionality isn't
needed at all?).
If libdvd-pkg would just build the package, one could do e.g.
the following:
- Have a config file parsed, which allows setting e.g.
DEB_SIGN_KEYID and then have the generated files signed
(i.e. no -uc in the dpkg-buildpackage call)
- Have a option, which basically allows setting a hook that's
called after a successful build.
Per default this could be the current:
dpkg --install /usr/src/${PKGI}/*_${VERGG}~local_*.deb
but one could also change it to something like moving
the built files (incl. .changes/etc.) to e.g. the incoming/
dir of debarchiver and then have that updated. Or call dput.
Or do both, upload into some e.g. local debarchiver archive
AND to the dpkg -i.
The benefit would be, that the packages don't shop up as
obsolete/local anymore.
Cheers,
Chris.
