This branch (with some bug fixes) are now in experimental if anyone
wants to play with it.
* Remember to set DH_BUILD_DDEBS! Else ddebs will not be built
* dak support is still missing
* Thanks to the reproducibility team, the APT maintainers and the dpkg
maintainers. They have either helped me solve a few bugs or fixed a
bug in their respective tools. In particular:
- the reproducibility team reported a number of "brown paper bag
bugs" (like dh_strip throwing away debug symbols in regular -dbg
pkgs /o\ ).
- dpkg-genchanges no longer emits warnings when building .ddebs.
- apt now properly handles the "pkg:arch" dependency.
* Some caveats remain (like lack of documentation and there is no valid
migration path from -dbg to .ddebs).
Thanks,
~Niels
