  • Creating packages with different configurations

    From David James@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jun 8 18:00:01 2024
    Dear Mentors,

    If I wish to create two binary packages with different
    configurations from a single source package (e.g. to support
    different ISA levels), what's the best way to implement this?

    If I have package-name-feature-1, package-name-feature-2 and
    package-name-data in d/control, how do I implement this in d/rules?
    What is the syntax?

    Regards,

    David James

    I'm not sure I understand, you want the same binary that uses two
    different config files or you want to build from source twice with
    different (mutually exclusive) configuration switch?

    If it's the latter you need to build, move the bin, clean and build
    again; see mplayer rules and install files for an example

    https://salsa.debian.org/multimedia-team/mplayer/-/blob/master/debian/rules?ref_type=heads
    (around line 95)

    Lorenzo

    Or build in two dirs, like https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/c/curl/rules-8.8.0-1

    Are you really asking about DEB_BUILD_PROFILES? Because I don't think this makes sense, DEB_BUILD_PROFILES is basically a set of flags.
