-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I will repeat what I said:
debstd is not supposed to guess that your static library is in coff format, because normal libraries in Linux are ELF. stripping a library using just strip --strip-debug is ok for 95% of cases, if your case is in the remaining 5%, then the debstd provided by debmake, as is, is not suitable for your package. I would like to add that there are two different issues here: 1. You didn't know that debstd does "strip --strip-debug" on static libraries. By reading debstd(1), I realize that this may be a "documentation" bug in debmake, if you like. In such case I can retitle this bug to something like "debstd behaviour is not fully documented" and add a phrase saying "debstd strips static libraries" in the man page. Ok? 2. Normal strip seems to mess up a coff library. This is a completely different issue. If you think this is a bug in binutils, submit a bug against binutils. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: latin1 iQCVAgUBNYq2XCqK7IlOjMLFAQEyPQP/W5ydMmQqHu52kWqt4hAH3zp2V7vqzpEx GoNuUK9/N2pjwGjoYAalgIUeNXZ6o7H9F+85gfK0p/Ra07CUgxpDg4k0qG+ZwLDI pL1oRyiFpP9iJRtVto1iLJbsbuAzzoQj7C1r4lOKlWpMPbDa1rMl7goNoFXcXaxL FJyPqs2YSvM= =4p2t -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
