Dear List, I'm facing an issue when packaging the Anjal [1] mail client for Debian.
Anjal is another GUI front-end for Evolution designed for small form factor devices. So naturally Anjal depends upon many .so libraries in the Evolution package. But those .so libraries is considered private by Evolution so they are installed in /usr/lib/evolution/2.28. To use them Anjal is built by using RPATH that point to /usr/lib/evolution/2.28, and this is considered by lintian to be an error (it was warning before). Evolution upstream developers don't agree to move those Evolution .so libraries into /usr/lib since they are private, should not be used by other programs and there's no intention to maintain a stable API of them. Anjal is considered a part of Evolution project so the API between Anjal and Evolution will be maintained by Evo upstream. So any suggestions on how can I package Anjal for Debian and use the .so files in the evolution package? My idea is to create symlinks of those libraries in /usr/lib/anjal/0.1/ so Anjal won't need to use RPATH that point to /usr/lib/evolution/2.28/. Though I'm not sure if this is a clean way. Thank you very much. [1] http://live.gnome.org/Anjal/ -- Li, Yan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
