I still do not understand, could you please elaborate? On the system
where libopal is linked to srtp, libopal-dev too uses srtp.
Opal .debs get built on a machine (user, binNMU, buildd) with srtp-dev
installed.
Many people do this error, I do not understand why. Only source
packages must be uploaded, not binary ones!! Moreover, the binary
packages must be created in pbuilder, not in packager's or user's
day-to-day partition!! About one year ago there was a post on debian
lists giving this as a recommandation, I do not know how this was continued.
This solves all the problems.
These .debs then get installed on a machine without srtp-dev. You would be
surprised how often this can occur. No deps automatically pull in srtp libs.
User then builds an application with opal, however as srpt is missing build
fails, both headers and libs...
Libraries are automatically added in build-depends. Only the header
might be missing.
Options:
1. Make explicit Build-Depends: libsrtp-dev, then it is expected that all
.debs will include depends, and when the package above are installed they srtp
deps will be pulled in. packages are working as expected...
2. Make explicit Build-Conflicts: libsrtp-dev, then it is expected that all
.debs will not depend on srtp. If a user wants to include srtp support, then
they need to change the package configuration and we can claim it is
unsupported.
Thus the recommend that we go for option 1.
