Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.2.1.0
Severity: normal
Let me start by saying that i am not in any way attached to this
specific amendment to policy. What i would like is to be able to
cause the files that are normally placed in the parent directory
while building a package to be placed instead in some other
directory. An environment variable would be nice because i could
set it once and never worry about it again, but i don't really
care how this ends up being done.
Below is a diff to policy.sgml in CVS. It requires a change in
how binary and source packages are built. dpkg already supports
the change, but dpkg-source will need to be modified. It doesn't
support a build directory at the moment. I describe the
'-o' option in this patch, but i am not attached to that
particular one.
