Well, that was a long read :) > All you seem to need is: > > build-indep: > dh_auto_configure > make doc > docbook-to-man debian/tulip.sgml > debian/tulip.1 Hm, having configure step as part of the build actions, as opposed to being actions of a configure-specific target like has been done since a number of years, would probably be useful to mention in the dh manpage. In fact the list of supported sequences that one can get by calling "dh foo" would be good to have in the manpage. Similarly, the precise relation between build/install/binary and their -arch/-indep counterparts could be more precisely described: the discussion in #604563 about whether the latter would be run in a row or not probably shows that things are not easy. And I do like Roger Leigh's "override_dh_auto_configure: debian/build/config.status" idiom. But appart that it could be good to add to examples, too, I can't get it to work with cmake, since the build dir is named obj-$some_undocumented_arch_var (variable which I suspect to only be accessible from perl, correct ?) > > And something similar is going to happen with install, with the > > following I'd like to split in a similar way: > > > > |override_dh_auto_install: > > | dh_auto_install > > | dh_auto_install -- -C docs > > > > What do you think ? > > install-indep: > dh_auto_install -- -C docs > dh install-indep Ah... relying on the .debhelper.log files. Takes time to assimilate this idea as well - again sorely missing as a example :) Best regards, -- Yann -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
