Hi,
Quoting Arnaud Ferraris (2024-08-02 18:36:23)
Could you please split this package so the shared libraries, development files
and gobject-introspection data are all shipped in separate packages?
is this a request out of necessity? Is the current packaging breaking something
for you?
It's not strictly "breaking" anything, but I'm packaging tuba[1] which
is now built against libclapper, and I'd appreciate if this package could:
* build-depend only on libclapper-dev (or whatever) rather than the
whole clapper package
* depend only on libclapper rather than all of clapper
* not have to explicitly build-depend on libclapper-dev's dependencies;
this is somehow orthogonal to the split, but without the split those
should be made dependencies of clapper itself, which is clearly
suboptimal (no need for a mere video player to pull a whole bunch of
gstreamer development files)
This would bring a (admittedly minor) improvement to bandwidth usage for
buildds and disk usage for users, not mentioning the fact that it aligns
with current practice in Debian.
Best regards,
Arnaud
