Package: debhelper
Severity: normal
Hi,
since #671544 is not yet fixed I tried to compress some large text files
that profit heavily from xz compression in an override before calling
dh_compress:
override_dh_compress:
xz --best debian/$(pkg)/usr/share/doc/$(pkg)/largefile
dh_compress
The surprising result was that I ended up with
/usr/share/doc/$(pkg)/largefile.xz.gz
files in the package and thus was forced to use
override_dh_compress:
xz --best debian/$(pkg)/usr/share/doc/$(pkg)/largefile
dh_compress --exclude=.xz
This result is surprising since bz2 compressed files are not gzipped by
dh_compress. So please do not compress .xz files.
Kind regards
Andreas.
