Package: adacgi Version: 1.6-8 Severity: serious Justification: violation of Debian policy for Ada
Since AdaCGI is a library, it must consist of two binary packages: libadacgi-dev and libadacgi1. The source package, adacgi, must build-depend on gnat (>= 4.1) (currently not versioned). libadacgi-dev must provide the Ada specs (cgi.ads and ustrings.ads) in the directory /usr/share/ada/adainclude/adacgi. Optionally, it may also provide the corresponding bodies (*.adb) (this is mandatory if these are bodies of generic units). libadacgi-dev must provide the Ada library information files (*.ali) in /usr/lib/ada/adalib/adacgi. These files must be read-only for all users; dh_fixperms knows about that and does the right thing (do not --exclude .ali files when calling it). libadacgi-dev must also provide a GNAT project file, /usr/share/ada/adainclude/adacgi.gpr. libadacgi-dev must provide the static library, /usr/lib/libadacgi.a, and the symlink /usr/lib/libadacgi.so. The static library must contain object files compiled with -g. libadacgi-dev must Depend on gnat-4.1. The examples can be in libadacgi-dev, but they must not be compressed; currently the file search.adb is compressed. Please pass -X.adb -X.ads -Xmakefile to dh_compress. This allows gnat to compile the examples directly. libadacgi1 must provide the shared library, /usr/lib/libadacgi.so.1.6, with appropriate symlink (libadacgi.so.1). The shared library must contain object files compiled with -fPIC and WITHOUT -g. libadacgi1 must Depend on libgnat-4.1; this is normally done automatically by dh_shlibdeps. Since the files contained in the binary package adacgi do not conflict with the standard paths in the proposed -dev and library packages, it is not necessary that packages conflict with each other. However, libadacgi-dev should Replace adacgi. Finally: please revisit the lintian overrides, as they may not be necessary anymore. Both linda and lintian know about Ada libraries now. Since this is a very simple package, consider looking at the debian/rules that I use for libtemplates-parser. It builds the Ada files in two directories, obj-static and obj-shared, and makes the libraries from there. -- Ludovic Brenta. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
